TL;DR: This paper presents a 3D path tracking routine to build trajectories inside tubular anatomical objects with minimal user interaction and efficiently solves the shortest path problem using the so-called “fast-marching” algorithm.
Abstract: Manual path definition for guiding virtual endoscopy is a very tedious task for human operators. In this paper we present a 3D path tracking routine to build trajectories inside tubular anatomical objects with minimal user interaction. The algorithm determines the ”shortest” path between two user indicated points (start and end points). This method, based on the level-set formalism, efficiently solves the shortest path problem using the so-called “fast-marching” algorithm. The method is illustrated for colon and blood vessel tracking.

TL;DR: A new application is presented that enables radiologists to visualize big data sets in 3D remotely and the save of computing power and costs respectively is saved.
Abstract: We present a new application that enables radiologists to visualize big data sets in 3D remotely. The beneet of this is the save of computing power and costs respectively. We are also able to show that this remote radiological visualization is possible even when the task is very time sensitive and when it is necessary to compute and to visualize in real time.
