Is it possible to perform 3D-cinematic rendering from MDCT by 3D Slicer? Is there any modules to do that?

Hi - We don’t have cinematic rendering functionality right now, but we’re going to be chatting about infrastructure improvements this afternoon so I added a note to talk about that. Mostly for us it’s always a matter of either funded priorities or community contributions. ProjectWeek W…

Can you tell us a bit more about the application - patient education, understanding complex geometry, just playing around, …? Is there any particular clinical problem that you would like to solve? Note that “cinematic rendering” is just a fancy name for adding more realistic lighting (most visible …

In my experience, it is much easier to apply enhanced rendering to CT modalities (e.g. MDCT) than MRI modalities. The image intensity of different tissues is calibrated for CT, while it is relative to MRI. These advanced renderings have a huge number of adjustable parameters, and this makes a genera…

[image] Chris_Rorden: A very simple but robust approach that can make both CT and MRI renderings look fancy is to use MatCaps. These are very easy to implement Implementation of surface mesh rendering is certainly easy and photorealistic rendering is widely available in various software appli…

@ lassoan MRIcroGL is a volume renderer. MatCaps work for both voxel-based volume rendering (MRIcroGL) and mesh-based Surface Rendering (Surfice). MatCaps work for either method. The images above were from MRIcroGL. The image below shows MRIcroGL using MatCaps for a high quality volume rendering (le…

@pieper and @lassoan - Since MRIcroGL is a complicated program, I created a simple JavaScript web page to illustrate MatCap-based volume rendering. Click here for the Github project and click here for a live demo . You can use the file menu to load NIfTI format images. The control of the transfer te…

This is amazing, thanks a lot for sharing. This seems to be a very simple and efficient way of providing textured appearance without generating 3D textures or 2D texture coordinates. This could be particularly useful when different material is applied to each structure (using multi-volume rendering …

I’m going to try this method in peritoneal carcinomatosis assessing by MDCT ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6158831/ )

Thanks to all of you for your help. I understand that I can use Slicer to transfer CT data to NIfTI format then upload it to JavaScript web page. Am I right?

Excellent images @Chris_Rorden - would love to see this technique in Slicer/OHIF-vtk/vtkjs
