碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 99 === Computed Tomography (CT) technology has been extensively used in daily clinical diagnosis as it can provide a series of 2D scans of the human body. However, due to the limitation of cheaper but efficient PC-based software, current diagnosis of CT images is always performed in terms of two-dimensional display. Although three-dimensional imaging technology is available and can offer more realistic display of the images, it is still insufficient for medical applications as the display is still in a two-dimensional mode. The purpose of this study is to develop a human-machine interface for medical virtual reality. We employ volume rendering and stereo display techniques for the display of medical images in a stereo manner. We also integrate data glove and six DOF positioning tracker for providing a virtual reality system for medical applications. We intend to integrate such devices into our software and develop appropriate human-machine interface so that we can manipulate real and virtual objects together. We employ this system to cerebrovascular disease diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of pelvic fracture for demonstrating its capability.
