title: Three-dimensional medical imaging display with computer-generated integral photography.
abstract: A 3-D display system for medical imaging by computer-generated integral photography (IP) has been developed. Real 3-D images are generated from 3-D medical images and displayed by simple structure. Each point in 3-D space is reconstructed by the convergence of rays from many pixels on the computer display through the lens array. Only the coordinate of the best point is computed for each pixel on the display. The locations of images projected within 40mm from the display were found to be less than 2.0mm in error. Projected images could be observed with motion parallax within 10 degrees from the front of the display.
