            Abstract : 
This paper proposes a 3D volume clipping method based on volume distance field, which is suitable for texture-based volume rendering and exploit per-fragment operation on the graphics hardware to implement clipping. High frame rates are achieved and therefore interactive explorations and clippings of volume data are supported.
