Abstract :
A computationally intensive approach to three-dimensional cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) reconstruction is described. This technique used semitransparent surface rendering to give a view of human left and right blood pools within the cardiac structure. Blood was given a colored solid surface, while the cardiac wall was semitransparent.
