Using 3D visualization reconstruction technique to get the three-dimensional structure of the cerebral vessels and its related organizations is helpful for the cerebral vessel disease diagnosis. Considering its special position
morphological complexity
and changing gray information
we hope to display its spatial structure accurately using a reconstruction technique. In this paper
we present a CUDA(compute unified device architecture)based ray-casting volume rendering to express the cerebral vessel model by introducing the factor of depth and thickness such as silhouette enhancement based on curvature
boundary enhancement on depth and the depth cue enhancement based on stereo display and color blending etc. With those real-time rendering methods
the three-dimensional structural information about depth
gradient
and direction of the viewing is clearly visible. The experimental results show that those methods can not only meet the need of accuracy but also improve the rendering quality.
