            Abstract : 
Combined rendering of volume data and geometric objects (graphics objects) is important in a number of medical applications. Efficient generation of such rendering is required to support user interactions at a level that are useful in clinical applications. In this study, we describe the manipulation of graphics objects with volume data utilizing a widely used graphics API standard, OpenGL
