چکیده

One of the most common difficulties in neuroanatomy learning is misperception of structure’s spatial position. Three dimensional (3D) reconstruction and modeling is one of the easiest ways of understanding spatial position. 3D reconstruction and modeling from traditional imaging modalities requires too many slices and expensive image display and processing system. Is there any software, which allows users to efficiently and conveniently navigate through large sets of multidimensional data without the need for high-end expensive hardware or software? This brief technical note is addressed to answer this question.

Non-Gaussian Anisotropic Diffusion for Medical Image Processing using the OsiriX DICOM

We present a method for reducing noise in CT (Computed Tomography) and MR (Magnetic Resonance) images that, in addition to other noise sources, is characteristic of the numerical procedures required to construct the images, namely, the (inverse) Radon Transform. In both cases, MR imaging in particular, an additional noise source is due to non-stationary diffusion thereby predicating use of the ...

Merging 3D optical measurement system (structured light-based surface topography) and digital radiograms - the technique and preliminary results

Methods The images of 11 adolescents (average age 15.05 years) with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were selected for this study. Average Cobb angle 31.7° surface kyphosis angle 10.45° and surface lordosis angle 36.06°. An IRB was approved for this study. The merging algorithms were developed as an operational plug-in for OsiriX Imaging Software used in the facility for viewing medical im...
