The Dynamic Scene Generator is a web-based system for rendering detailed models of anatomy. Using a web interface, clients send scene manipulation requests to the DSG server, which returns snapshots of the rendered results. A comprehensive knowledge base of anatomy guides the DSG server, helping it to decide which models to include and how to display them. This design enables dynamic and intelligent interaction with 3-D anatomical models, even for clients with limited computing power and bandwidth.
The Dynamic Scene Generator has been developed by Ben Wong, Evan Albright, Kevin Hinshaw, Cornelius Rosse, and Jim Brinkley.
