The goal of this project is to implement segment-aware carving mechanism, that will make it possible to clip specific user-defined segments when rendering a medical volume. This will allow users to create very customized visualizations tailored for specific needs, like anatomy learning or preoperative planning. Eventually, the goal is to add a VR interactions, as demonstrated in this video:

Article describing the occlusion management technique was submitted to the ISMAR 2025 conference.
