Abstract:
Objective To reconstruct caudate nucleus,lentiform nucleus and thalamus three-dimensionally,fuse these neural structures with (patient's) radiological images and provide anatomical data for diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical diseases. Methods Chinese Virtual Human dataset was segmented using image-transparency method at first and each image was smoothed by eroding and dilating, then fused neural structures with MRI,the neural structures and brain in MRI were reconstructed and displayed using surface rendering and volume rendering lastly. Results The reconstructed neural structures were smooth,natural and realistic.Their shapes and positions was clearly displayed and could be rotated, observed in any direction.On the fused images,the neural structures and tumor could be seen at the same time.Conclusion The reconstructed structures and fused images have great reference value to teaching and learning and diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical diseases.
