abstract = "In this paper we describe methods to efficiently visualize multiple  ntersecting volumetric objects. We introduce the concept of V-Objects.  V-Objects represent abstract properties of an object connected to  a volumetric data source. We present a method to perform direct volume  rendering of a scene comprised of an arbitrary number of possibly  intersecting V-Objects. The idea of our approach is to distinguish  between regions of intersection, which need costly multi-volume processing,  and regions containing only one V-Object, which can be processed  using a highly efficient brick-wise volume traversal scheme. Using  this method, we achieve significant performance gains for multi-volume  rendering. We show possible medical applications, such as surgical  planning, diagnosis, and education.",
