Background

3D imaging has been a breakthrough in the analysis of an object, particularly in healthcare analysis. However, current 3D imaging requires manual input of information, for example, a specific bounded region, thus making the 3D image inaccurate. Along with that bias, current 3D imaging removes anything within said system, such as bodily fluids. Although there are protocols to have such fluids removed, it is unpleasant and prevents system users from taking examinations.

Technology

Marking voxels are placed through a system, creating rendered images throughout, thus creating a 2D planar project of the 3D closed system. The visualization in 2D allows users to see any missing attributes of the system, allowing them to pinpoint specific areas. The voxels also allow for electronic cleaning of a virtual object and border region identification for the system.
