What is Volume Rendering.

Volume rendering is a technique for directly displaying a sampled 3D scalar field without first fitting geometric primitives to the samples. (© Mark Levoy, Stanford Univ.).

Based on HDVR engine, COBRA provides volume rendering of  reconstructed data with superior performance and quality.

One can load really jumbo volumes  (like 2000x2000) and see all details in the original resolution

VR applications.

In diagnosis, radiotherapy, surgery and treatment planning the knowledge of relative placement and size of anatomical structures is indispensable. Therefore, volumetric visualization of medical data sets acquired by Computer Tomography (CT) has become more and more important. Usually the two dimensional CT images have to be transformed mentally together to get an idea of the real three-dimensional image. Contrarily, volume rendering enables the visualization of the whole 3D object - even of inner structures. A virtual environment additionally enables a truly three-dimensional view of the data, which could simplify their interpretation significantly.
