Abstract | Fan-Slicer (https://github.com/UCL/fan-slicer) is a Python package that enables the fast sampling (slicing) of 2D ultrasound-shaped images from a 3D volume. To increase sampling speed, CUDA kernel functions are used in conjunction with the Pycuda package. The main features include functions to generate images from both 3D surface models and 3D volumes. Additionally, the package also allows for the sampling of images from curvilinear (fan shaped planes) and linear (rectangle shaped planes) ultrasound transducers. Potential uses of Fan-slicer include the generation of large datasets of 2D images from 3D volumes and the simulation of intra-operative data among others. |
