Telereconstruction from computerized tomography images for the distance teaching of medicine.
A system for making remote two- and three-dimensional reconstructions from computerized tomography images has been developed in order to improve medical teleteaching. It allows the automatic two- and three-dimensional remote visualization of the anatomical structure of interest. As a part of this system, software has been developed which allows many visual operations or transformations on a remote three-dimensional model. It permits the remote workstation and the local workstation to visualize every transformation simultaneously. It allows a doctor to interact virtually and remotely with the anatomical structure. The software enables examination of the anatomical model from all angles, even from inside (including planar and three-dimensional presentations).
