Page "Scientific visualization" Paragraph 27

According to Rosenblum ( 1994 ) " volume visualization examines a set of techniques that allows viewing an object without mathematical representing the other surface.

Initially used in medical imaging, volume visualization has become an essential technique for many sciences, portraying phenomena become an essential technique such as clouds, water flows, and molecular and biological structure.

Many volume visualization algorithms are computationally expensive and demand large data storage.

Advances in hardware and software are generalizing volume visualization as well as real time performances ".
