System and methods for multi-dimensional rendering and display of full volumetric data sets
First Claim
1. A system providing multi-dimensional rendering and display of volumetric data sets, said system comprising:
- a platform to render a plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets received from a plurality of volumetric data sources, the plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets including data related to at least a single volume and at least one set of fully acquired volumetric data received in real time;
a graphics processor to import said plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets to a common coordinate space, and co-registering of the plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets temporally with respect to each other such that the plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets are properly temporally represented with respect to one another; and
wherein co-registering the plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets is performed without an interpolation process,at least one display system operationally connected to said platform to display said plurality of fully acquired volumetric data sets.

Abstract
A stand-alone platform and a method for the multi-dimensional rendering, display, manipulation, and analysis of full high resolution volumetric data sets. The systems and methods provide the ability to volumetrically render images with extremely high resolution in applications such as medical imaging procedures, digital microscopy such as in use of a confocal microscope, and other areas where extremely large data sets are produced from the imaging process. Certain embodiments of the system and methods produce left and right eye images of the rendered data, for viewing in parallax via a synchronized headset, and the ability to manipulate the data and display of image data easily and in real time.
