Abstract

In this paper we describe techniques which have been developed in order to interactively visualize dynamic 3D ultrasound (US) volume data sets acquired using a small animal 2D US scanner. The 2D frames are acquired at different spatial positions and gated based on the ECG signal. For the reconstruction process a user interface is specified, which allows the user to select 2D frames acquired during different ECG phases at different spatial locations. Thus it is possible to reconstruct and visualize a volumetric model based on several 2D frames for different phases of the heart cycle. To improve the interactive visualization, we facilitate filtering techniques, which have been implemented on the GPU.
