3D Polygonal Models from CT Data for Medical Planning

چکیده
As radiation treatment/surgery becomes increasingly available at various medical centers around the world, it becomes also the preferred choice for tumors treatment. Planning is a crucial part of the process because it can detect collisions between various components of the hardware delivering the radiation and the patient. Simulated planning requires a 3D model of the patient. This paper reports on the design and implementation of an on-the-fly conversion system of the patient CT (Coherent Tomography) data into a 3D representation. This work is complementary to the goal of creating a real-time 3D graphical simulator for an advanced radiation therapy/surgery system that improves the planning process supporting the decision making process as well as innovation in medical planning.

Software system for creation of human femur customized polygonal models
Geometrically accurate and anatomically correct threedimensional geometric models of human bones or bone sections are essential for successful pre-operative planning in orthopedic surgery. For such purposes, 3D polygonal models of bones are usually created based on Computer Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. In cases where there is no CT or MRI scan, or part of bone is mi...
