A system for making remote two- and three-dimensional reconstructions from
computerized tomography images has been developed in order to improve medic
al teleteaching. It allows the automatic two- and three-dimensional remote
visualization of the anatomical structure of interest. As a part of this sy
stem, software has been developed which allows many visual operations or tr
ansformations on a remote three-dimensional model. It permits the remote wo
rkstation and the local workstation to visualize every transformation simul
taneously. It allows a doctor to interact virtually and remotely with the a
natomical structure. The software enables examination of the anatomical mod
el from all angles, even from inside (including planar and three-dimensiona
l presentations).
