Abstract:
For visualization in medical imaging, a hybrid volume ( 22 ) and surface ( 24 ) renderer ( 16 ) uses unified ray tracing. Rather than separately rasterizing the surface ( 24 ) and ray tracing the volume ( 22 ), a same ray or set of rays is used for both the volume ( 22 ) and the surface ( 24 ). Various effects may be modeled by determining ( 34 ) the intersection of the ray with the surface ( 24 ) or surfaces ( 24 ) and integrating ( 36 ) the volume ( 22 ) data in parallel. For medical imaging ( 38 ), more complex effects, interactive rendering, and/or real-time rendering may be provided by altering the integration for ray tracing based on the detected intersections.

Claim (Index 11):
The system of  claim 1  wherein the renderer is configured to alter the contribution for ambient occlusion.
