title: Texture mapping based visualisation methods for the manipulation of CT data: interaction and ergonomics.
abstract: The manipulation of large CT datasets needs fast visualisation methods for a comfortable user interaction. Modern visualisation techniques make use texture hardware in graphics workstations extensively. In the following we will present an interactive tool for the positioning of anatomical landmarks in CT datasets of non-pathological children. The tool includes a fast visualisation of CT cross sections based on a texture mapping technique and an interactive three-dimensional view of the segmented CT dataset.
