Virtual colonoscopy (VC) is a patient-friendly alternative for colorectal endoscopic examination. We explore visualization aspects of VC such as surface in view, navigation and communication of a diagnosis. A series of unfolded cubes presents an animated full 360-degree omnidirectional field-of-view to the physician, to facilitate thorough and rapid inspection. For communication between physicians a tool has been designed that uses image-based rendering. Clinical evaluation has shown a reduction in inspection time from 19 minutes to 7 minutes without loss of sensitivity. With current virtual colonoscopy using a 2-sided view only 94% of the surface is available for exploration. In our approach the surface in view is increased to potentially 100%. Thus, the entire colon can be explored with better confidence that no regions are missed. |
