Medical Visualizer 3D: Hardware Controller for Dmd Module

Abstract

Abstract In this paper an implementation of the module responsible for the control of micro-mirror array for later use in projection is described. Existing technologies allow for projections of medical images in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine format only in the form of a flat 2D image. The 3D Visualizer will allow to display medical images in three dimensions using its own projection surface. The matrix controlling device has been largely developed on the basis of reverse engineering studies carried out on the functional system based on a driver from Texas Instruments. Driver is built on the FPGA with implemented soft processor from Xilinx - MicroBlaze.
