Recent studies evidenced perceptual benefits of applying more advanced illumination models for 3-D medical visualization. Consequently, in the past years, interactive volume rendering techniques started supporting more advanced illumination effects. We have contributed with our research to develop the latest advances in this field.

Medical training requires to gain a deep understanding of medical imaging and acquisition techniques. Nothing better to get familiar with human anatomy than studying real-world patient-specific cases. Personalized medicine necessitates that our healthcare professionals possess an unprecedented familiarity with the diverse range of human body shapes and potential pathological conditions. Check our CineM3D course for education in medical imaging.

As humans, our brain is used to perceive objects and natural surroundings within our real-world environments, often shaped by natural or artificial lighting conditions. When conveying images, illustrations, and concepts, individuals tend to favor depictions that are illuminated naturally and realistically. Such lighting enhances our ability to comprehend the three-dimensional shapes and relationships between structures more effectively.
