Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure involves a method of providing three-dimensional imaging in a medical environment. A first three-dimensional (3D) model is provided. The first 3D model represents a part of human anatomy or an implantable medical device. The first 3D model contains a plurality of vertices. A second 3D model is then generated by performing a vertex-reduction process to the first 3D model. The second 3D model has fewer vertices than the first 3D model. A shading texture is applied to the second 3D model to obtain a texture-shaded second 3D model. The applying the shading texture is performed using the first 3D model as a reference so that the texture-shaded second 3D model resembles the first 3D model.
