Topological modeling of human anatomy using medical data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Medical imaging can provide data for useful views of the interior details of human anatomy. In addition to visualization, which in general has been the primary reason for obtaining these data, many other uses are possible. These include modeling of different elements and their inter-relationships -topological modeling, simulation of physical processes, analysis of movements and validation of models. Here, we describe some of the modeling issues from medical imaging. The issues are particularly related to topological modeling of different anatomical elements: bones, muscles, articulations, etc. A 3 0 topological modeler is presented with which anatomists and other users can build a topological data base containing structural, topological, and mechanical information of anatomical elements.

Modeling using the Visible Human Dataset
Modeling with medical images in this context provides both structural and topological information of different elements. In addition to displaying these elements, the interest is in using them for physically based deformation simulation, motion generation and analysis, and model validation. The Visible Human Dataset (VHD) has provided a referential standard as medical image data for modeling. S...
متن کاملTransdifferentiation of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells Into Oligoprogenitor Cells
Introduction: The nerve fibers in central nervous system are surrounded by myelin sheet which is formed by oligodendrocytes. Cell therapy based on oligodendrocytes and their precursors transplantation can hold a promising alternative treatment for myelin sheet repair in demyelinating diseases. Methods: Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs) are noninvasive, autologous and easy available s...

متن کاملUsing Surface Anatomy in Teaching The Anatomy of Upper Limb Vessels to Students of Allied Health Sciences
Introduction: Despite the abundant studies on teaching anatomy using cadaver, a few studies have documented the use of surface anatomy. Also, the majority of articles concerning human anatomy teaching have focused on medical student education and less attention has been paid to teaching anatomy to students of allied health sciences. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of teach...
