title: Interactive visualization of 3D fields and images on inexpensive workstations using VRML.
abstract: The visualization of volumetric medical images and static or time-dependent vector fields is performed on personal computers over the Web using an interactive 3D interface based on VRML and Java. The VRML client obtains field information and the surface models of examined objects from a server accessible over the Internet. Various virtual tools enable radiologists and referring physicians to visualize and manipulate complex data sets using a simple interface on low-cost computers.
