Manipulation of Volume Data for Surgical Simulation

Many systems exist for the 3D visualisation of volume data. The manipulation (translation, rotation, Boolean operations) of such data is less well developed. In surgical simulation, the requirement is to have multiple object fragments that can be independently manipulated and merged. This paper discusses an approach using an interactively specified volume mask to dissect the data, and subsequent operations performed on Boolean expressions of masks and data.
