In order to understand the pathology behind lung carcinomas, one must first have a firm grasp on the anatomy being affected. 3D visualizations can help Doctors, Students, and Patients attain full comprehension of an upcoming surgery, or treatment by allowing the viewer to interact with a 3D model representing actual human anatomy. Lung carcinomas can be extremely difficult to operate on due to the spatial relationships of pulmonary vessels and tertiary bronchials. 3D models will give surgeons a better idea of the extent of the carcinoma and its relationship to the surrounding anatomical landmarks.
This 3D Model was extracted from MRI data using 3D Slicer and will be used as a demonstration for 3D Visualization using DICOM Data.
