  abstract =   "Since the development of medical three dimensional imaging
               devices in the 1970s, volumetric data processing has
               tremendously gained in importance. With the growing size of
               the data-sets, exhausting the capabilities of the hardware
               of its time, methods for efficient volumetric data
               processing have been always a hot topic. In this diploma
               thesis two approaches for processing large volumetric
               data-sets are presented. Both approaches utilize a block
               volume for storing the data. Further data compression and
               out-of-core processing are incorporated. Efficiency is
               achieved by processing only the required portion of data
               while omitting the non-related data having no effect on the
               intended result of the algorithm. This is supported by
               utilization of the knowledge about access patterns of the
               algorithm. Also methods for optimizing the efficiency by
               exploiting architectural properties of the computer hardware
               are presented.",
