The use of fully interactive 3-D workstations with true real-time performance will become increasingly common as technology matures and economical commercial systems become available. This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to high speed approaches to the display and manipulation of 3-D medical objects obtained from tomographic data acquisition systems such as CT, MR, and PET. A variety of techniques are outlined including the use of software on conventional minicomputers, hardware assist devices such as array processors and programmable frame buffers, and special purpose computer architecture for dedicated high performance systems. While both algorithms and architectures are addressed, the major theme centers around the utilization of hardware-based approaches including parallel processors for the implementation of true real-time systems.
随着技术的成熟以及经济实惠的商业系统的出现，具备真正实时性能的全交互式三维工作站的使用将变得越来越普遍。本文全面介绍了从CT、MR和PET等断层数据采集系统获取的三维医学对象的高速显示和操作方法。文中概述了多种技术，包括在传统小型计算机上使用软件、诸如阵列处理器和可编程帧缓冲器等硬件辅助设备，以及用于专用高性能系统的专用计算机架构。虽然同时涉及了算法和架构，但主要主题围绕基于硬件的方法的利用，包括使用并行处理器来实现真正的实时系统。
