  • Online:2010-08-31 Published:2015-08-11

Abstract: Virtual surgery is an important research direction in medicine. Reconstruction of medical 3D image is implemented on VTK (Visualization Toolkit) using the visualization algorithm of surface rendering and volume rendering. Surface Cutting and Volume Cutting functions are realized to carry out interactive virtual cutting. Case study of spine surgery is illustrated as an example.

Key words: computer application, virtual surgery, surface cutting, volume cutting
