Abstract: A method for immersively displaying a scanned environment of a region to a set of users in a training environment wearing augmented reality head display units. The training environment includes a pseudo-GPS system, which allows position tracking over time. This enables rehearsing military operations before they occur.

Abstract: Pointers are added to a 3D volumetric dataset to help the user visualize the direction of blood flow. A 3D volume containing at least one blood vessel is created. Next, the direction of the blood flow is determined. Next, at least pointer is placed into the 3D volume in an aligned fashion with the direction of blood flow such that the 3D volume is modified. Next, the modified 3D volume is displayed on a head display unit, such as an augmented reality or virtual reality display. Next, at least one pointer is advanced to a new position for additional modification of the 3D imaging volume.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an angiographic simulation is disclosed. A vascular structure is segmented within a 3D imaging dataset, such as a CT scan or MRI scan. The voxels corresponding to virtual contrast are placed within the segmented vascular structure. Multi-phase simulations can be performed to track contrast flow through the vascular tree. Some embodiments comprises inserting virtual contrast in conjunction with performing a deformity of the vascular structure.
