Abstract: Aiming at the problems of sensor noise and slow volume rendering in magnetic resonance images, an improved ray-casting algorithm is proposed to visualize the breast and lesion in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). First, a linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) filter is used to denoise the breast magnetic resonance images. Then, in order to improve the algorithm of volume rendering, the ray casting algorithm is improved by using bilinear interpolation operation and ray early termination technology. Finally, the three-dimensional visualization of the breast MRI images is realized based on VTK library. Experiments show that the proposed method can improve the rendering speed of breast MRI images while ensuring image quality, and assist doctors to understand the internal situation of the breast and the condition of the lesions intuitively.
