Abstract

The three-dimensional medical information obtained from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI), X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), etc. is used for an operation-supporting image, and operations under image guidance have also been conducted. One of the stereoscopic methods is Integral Videography (IV), which is an animated extension of Integral Photography, reproducing a computer-generated graphical object. Though the advantage of IV has been proven in both feasibility studies and clinical applications, one of the issues still unsolved is the notable quantity of calculation that causes significant delay in rendering. Then using parallel processing method integrating Message Passing Interface (MPI) on High Performance Computer (HPC), we shortened the calculating time of IV picture by the shortest at about 0.2 s. Furthermore, by using socket communication, it transmitted to another portable note PC, which is for a display. Then, we achieved the fast presentation of autostereoscopic images seen from an arbitrary direction that was specified with the mouse from the note PC side at anywhere we can access to the network.
