What is Cinematic
Rendering?
Cinematic Rendering is a Novel three dimensional
rendering algorithm which produces realistic
visualizations of CT image data (Eid, et.al., 2017).

Development of Cinematic Rendering
● This new idea in the field
of radiography came from
the computer-based
animation programs used
in the entertainment
industry (Dappa, Et.al,
2016).
● Siemens Healthineers
used this information in
the field of health care.
They tried to use
animations they had seen
in the media to make CT
imaging images look
more real.

1. Based on the notion of one
light ray per pixel
2. The final pixel is determined
only by the light
characteristics of the voxels
along the light ray leading
to that pixel.
3. Focuses on increasing depth
and form perception

Rendering
Volume
Rendering
1. Uses high dynamic range
rendering maps to produce
a natural lighting
environment
2. More realistic three-
dimensional images.

Conclusions
Cinematic rendering, a progressive 3D
reconstruction technique. It shows
imaging data in a way that looks like
real life, and it may be more useful for
diagnosing problems than volume
rendering. It also makes for a more
natural and physically accurate picture
with better form and depth perception.
This new way of thinking could be the
start of virtual anatomical viewing.
