Computed tomography (CT), which makes it possible to look inside the human body without a scalpel, is fascinating in itself, but Cinematic Rendering in Deep Space 8K takes the study of the anatomy of the human body to the next level.

Cinematic Rendering is a new way to learn anatomy. What is shown here are datasets obtained from studies using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In Deep Space 8K, these data sets can be displayed three-dimensionally on huge projection surfaces in exceptional detail. The idea for this came from the animated film industry. The aim was to develop a programme that could display medical image data from CT and MR scans as photorealistically as computer animations produced in a Hollywood studio. This is where the name Cinematic Rendering came from. Nevertheless, this program is still a prototype, and it will still take a while before it is approved for commercial use. But in the meantime, Deep Space 8K is the perfect theatre of the future to show real human anatomy in a way that has never been possible before, according to Prof. Franz Fellner’s idea.

Prim. Prof. Dr. Franz Fellner of Kepler University Hospital and Dr. Klaus Engel of Siemens Healthineers will present the current state of the art in the teaching of the anatomy of the human body with fascinating new forms of three-dimensional anatomical visualizations that provide photorealistic images of the human body.
