Patent number: 10650587Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for constructing isosurfaces from 3D data sets, such as 3D image data that are based on a cubic grid (voxel image data). Specifically, 3D image is rendered from a voxel image that can be generated by a variety of medical modalities. The present invention is a modification of the MCA that allows for constructing an isosurface without holes resulting from some cubes having ambiguous isosurface topology.
