Automatic Creating of Tetrahedral Fem Models of Human Tissues from Segmented Ct/mr Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Because of FEM computational modelling of human tissues, in number of biomechanical applications, we have needed 3D FEM models of the tissues. Manual creating of the models is often very hard or impossible, because of tissues geometry complexity. Therefore we have developed computer system for fully automatic tetrahedral FEM models creation. Input information about tissues geometry and structure we have from segmented CT/MR data.

Human tissue geometrical modelling
The article is dealing with novel and relatively complex computer system for automatic creation of human tissues geometrical models. Applications of the created models can be found in orthopedy, aesthetic surgery, dental surgery, etc. On the input are discrete volume CT/MR data in DICOM 3.0 data format. The models creation process consist of several steps: tissue segmentation, volume data vecto...
متن کاملSegmentation of MR images for computer-assisted surgery of the lumbar spine.
This paper describes a segmentation algorithm designed to separate bone from soft tissue in magnetic resonance (MR) images developed for computer-assisted surgery of the spine. The algorithm was applied to MR images of the spine of healthy volunteers. Registration experiments were carried out on a physical model of a spine generated from computed tomography (CT) data of a surgical patient. Segm...
متن کاملMaterial density mapping on deformable 3D models of human organs
Organ motion, especially respiratory motion, is a technical challenge to radiation therapy planning and dosimetry. This motion induces displacements and deformation of the organ tissues within the irradiated region which need to be taken into account when simulating dose distribution during treatment. Finite element modeling (FEM) can provide a great insight into the mechanical behavior of the ...
متن کاملBrainK for Structural Image Processing: Creating Electrical Models of the Human Head
BrainK is a set of automated procedures for characterizing the tissues of the human head from MRI, CT, and photogrammetry images. The tissue segmentation and cortical surface extraction support the primary goal of modeling the propagation of electrical currents through head tissues with a finite difference model (FDM) or finite element model (FEM) created from the BrainK geometries. The electri...
متن کاملQuantitative Comparison of SPM, FSL, and Brainsuite for Brain MR Image Segmentation
Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...
