Optimized Web Based Method for 2D-Visualization of 3D Medical Images

Current standalone systems in the area of Min- imally Invasive Cancer Treatment (MICT) are not providing satisfying possibilities for researchers and Interventional Ra- diologist (IRs) to share their contributions. There are a lot of standalone simulation software implementations, which provide different services for the mentioned purpose. However, in all of the services, one of the most important concepts, transferring the experience which has gained from one simulated procedure, is missed. In contrast, by using a web based system, different communities would be capable of sharing the medical data and simulation. These potential advantages lead us to devel- oping a web based system for visualizing the medical data. Furthermore, 2D-visualization and applying image processing algorithms in 3D medical images is one of the most important elements of the very front-end of the software framework and also technically demanding. Therefore, we are obliged to answer the question What is the efficient method for web-based 2D representation of 3D medical images in distributed system?. Based on the evaluation of performance result in different test cases, such as evaluating the architecture, method usage and modularity in distributed systems, and readability of the most used case scenario image extension (extensively publishing aided library) we propose an optimized method for 2D-visualizations of 3D medical images which can be accessed by any standard browser.
