　　3D visualization of images generated by Computerized Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has shown important uses in medical diagnoses, treatment and simulation.Normally, images generated by CT or MRI are examined by doctors at a later time.In airport security inspection systems, however, images have to be visualized in real-time.Currently, inspectors can only view 2D images and the content of the images can only be identified by human eyes.Real-time 3D visualization and automatic content identification are still a challenge.In this paper, we discuss technologies in 3D image processing and content identification.Applications that have been developed in medicine and airport security are also discussed.Research and experiments in medical imaging were performed on a simulation system at the National Biomedical Research Foundation (Georgetown University Medical Center).Research and experiments in airport security system were performed at a high-tech company in Washington DC.This research is funded by a contract and funded in part by a grant from U.S.Department of Education [H327A060031].
