A computer graphics system for constructing 3-dimensional models of tissues from serial sections has been designed around a Motorola 68000 CPU. The system consists of a Dual Systems 16-bit microcomputer running the UNIX operating system. A Scion Corporation MicroAngelo color graphics system drives the color monitor. Three-dimensional imaging is enhanced by hidden line removal and area filling by color. A computer-drawn model of a cherry angioma is compared with a previously constructed physical model of the same angioma to illustrate how the system operates.
