Each of the images shown below is linked to an associated VRML model. Click on the image to start downloading the model. When all the data is transferred, your browser should start a VRML viewer through which you can then interact with the VRML object. See the Appendix for details of configuring Netscape to view a VRML object.

Figure 3. Surface model of the anastomosis of a lung transplanted to a recipient bronchus. The anastomosis location is shown by arrows. The original spiral CT data was acquired during a single breathold.
Figure 4. Surface model of the origin of (from L to R) the left subclavian artery, the common carotid artery and the brachiocephalic trunk from the aortic arch. The division of the brachiocephalic trunk into the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery is also clearly seen. Smaller vessels such as the thyroid artery are not visualized. The original spiral CT data was acquired during the arterial phase of a contrast bolus.
Figure 5. Surface model of the origin of the renal arteries from the descending aorta. Spiral CT data was again acquired during the arterial phase of the contrast bolus.
Figure 6. Surface model of a trachea with an abnormal constriction (arrows). Spiral CT data was acquired during a single breathold.
