Virtual endoscopic visualization of the colon by shape-scale signatures.

We developed a new visualization method for virtual endoscopic examination of computed tomographic (CT) colonographic data by use of shape-scale analysis. The method provides each colonic structure of interest with a unique color, thereby facilitating rapid diagnosis of the colon. Two shape features...
