Figure 6

Surface rendering of the original colon lumen with two digitally implanted polyps and its reference surface for digital eversion. (a) An outside view of the whole colon lumen, in which the portion defined by the frame is selected for the digital eversion, (b) a magnified view of the selected colon segment and the simulated polyps (arrows), (c) a magnified view of (b), (d) a bisected colon to show the inner surface and the simulated polyps (arrows), (e) a magnified view of (d), and (f) the reference surface for the digital eversion.
