Abstract:
Objective To obtain the CT image 3 D reconstruction of head and neck region of the first Chinese visible human. Methods The CT data of head and neck region of the first Chinese visible human were processed with Siemens 3 D Virtuoso VA(R2.6) software in SGI Graphics Computer Workstation. The 3 D reconstruction of head and neck surface and skeletal structure were carried out and studied. Results The face and neck were well reconstructed. The nose, lips, ears and chin could be clearly shown. The skeletal structures in the head and neck region were fairly reconstructed and displayed very well and even the fine structures in skull base such as foraman ovale and foramen spinosum could be seen. Many anatomic structures such as pituitary gland, brain stem, cervical marrow, sphenoid sinus, nasopharynx could be displayed in detail on the 3 D reconstruction section. Conclusion This study has realized the CT image 3 D reconstruction and visualization of head and neck region of the first Chinese visible human and provided morphologic data for further studies of 3 D structures, comparative studies of anatomy and imaging of the head and neck.
