Abstract

Recently, use of 3D and 4D volume visualization from X-ray CT and 11RI images has increased in many fields[l]. Realtime image generation is one of the advantage of acoustical method to MRI and X-ray CT techniques. 1Iany ultrasound echographic devices can visualize sliced sections of moving organs in realtime. By gathering image slices to cover certain volume space and time intervaL a space-time volume dataset or 4D volume dataset can be constructed. Volume visualization techniques can be applied to the dataset to create photo-realistic images and it is also possible to make a movie by assembling them.
