  abstract =   "Virtual endoscopy systems are promising tools for the
               simplification of daily clinical procedures. In this paper,
               a conceptual framework for a virtual endoscopy system
               (VirEn) is proposed, which is intended to be a highly
               interactive system. Research efforts have concentrated on
               the generation of an optimal path for the automated
               navigation of the data set. Extensions to existing thinning
               algorithms used to generate the optimal path are presented
               and discussed. First results produced with VirEn are shown.",
