Radiation from radionuclides is visualized using two-dimensional monitors and pseudo three-dimensional representation. True three-dimensional visualization is needed for use with high resolution medical imaging techniques such as x-ray computed tomography, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. True three-dimensional body part visualization could be used to interactively ¿peel off¿ layers of tissue or ¿travel through¿ the body. This project is to develop a new truly three-dimensional system for radionuclide visualization. The system would project-three dimensional images flicker free, at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels and 16 million colors to a viewer without eyewear. Phase I will include the complete design of such a system, including opto-electronic hardware and data synthesis algorithm. Phase I will culminate in a proof-of-prototype demonstration of the system.
Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: This technology should be applicable to any medical field that requires visualization, including telemedicine and remote learning. It could also be applied in entertainment (video games), computer displays, and precision teleoperation and robotics._
