Description: Volume graphics is in the process of evolving into a general graphics technology. The papers included in this book are testimonial to the wide spectrum of unique applications and solutions that volumetric representations are able to offer. They span a wide range of topics pertinent to volume graphics: volume-based modeling, volume data acquisition and generation, volume rendering using software, hardware, and hybrid approaches, theoretical considerations, and a number of applications and case studies. This books provides a valuable, comprehensive, and up-to-date source of information on this rapidly evolving technology.
