The size of volumetric data acquired from computed tomography scanning devices is steadily increasing, which often makes it impractical to store the whole data in physical memory. Therefore, efficient data structures are required. In this book several data structures are examined in respect to application for computed tomography-angiography. Specifically, memory consumption and performance of visualization are addressed. In addition, a data structure based on adaptive meshes is implemented. This data structure can leverage resources where they are needed. In order to generate the adaptive meshes, two different algorithms are explained and compared to each other. The most common visualization techniques for angiography are described. The book is directed towards software developers who are dealing with large volumetric data, computer graphics developers visualizing medical datasets and medical scientists analyzing information acquired from CT scans.
