This paper describes the development of a virtual surgery system, called VQSplat. The system takes volume data as inputs and is capable of display multiple volumetric models, manipulating and editing (cutting) them. The system uses a hierarchical multi-resolution point rendering system, which is derived from an existing point rendering system, QSplat [1]. The features of VQSplat are listed as follows:
• Use hierarchical multi-resolution point rendering system to render volume data,
• Support multiple translucent object display,
• Support object selection, manipulation, free cutting,
• A unique hierarchical data structure to accelerate rendering process, as well as cutting, and object splitting,
• Integrated support of raw volume data importing, image enhancement, normal estimation,
• Portable code. Separate core library with user interface.
