Abstract :
A nonphotorealistic rendering (NPR) technique can help medical practitioners visualize anatomic models and illustrate them with different stylizations. This technique provides potentially useful rendering alternatives to conventional volume or surface rendering in medical visualization. Improved performance allows interactive visualization of anatomic models, and additional stroke texture synthesis enriches medical object illustrations
