Abstract

Direct Volume Rendering is a popular and powerful visualization method for voxel data and other volumetric scalar data sets. Particularly, in medical applications volume rendering is very commonly used, and has become one of the state of the art methods for 3D visualization of medical data. In this article, some of the most common artifacts encountered will be discussed, and their possible remedies.
