Development of an Amendment to X3D to Create a Standard Specification of Medical Image Volume Rendering, Segmentation, and Registration

Abstract

There is currently no standard file format for representation of three dimensional (3D) medical imaging data. Extensible 3D (X3D) is an International Standards Organization (ISO) ratified, freely available standard that defines a runtime system and delivery mechanism for 3D graphics on the World Wide Web. The Web3D Consortium, which administers X3D, has developed a draft extension to X3D for a volume rendering, registration and segmentation component to define a file format and display of 3D medical imaging data. A formal ISO working project has been initiated to begin the process of ISO ratification of this extension.
