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

چکیده
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 images from the hospital PACS system. The 3D data from a 4-directional (360°) 3D optical measurement system (structured light-based surface topography) and digital radiograms were merged into one, consistent 3D model. The plug-in allowed loading and adjusting the data collected by these two systems. Finally, the composed 3D image was viewed, processed and saved in DICOM file format.

متن کاملTowards Measurement of Polarization Properties of Skin using the Ellipsometry Technique
Introduction: The human skin is an active medium from the optical point of view. Therefore, the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques employing light are increasing. Current optical techniques are based on the measurement of the intensity of reflected absorbed or backscattered light from or within skin. Studies have shown that biological tissues, and in particular skin, demonstrate polarization...

Double-sided high-sloped structured surfaces such as V-groove surfaces and Fresnel lenses are widely used in optical fibre positioning, retro-reflection, grating, light guiding and light concentration for solar power installation. Both the surface finish as well as the dimensions of the structured surfaces play important roles in the quality of the final products. Numerous efforts have been put...
متن کاملHandheld 3D Scanning System for In-Vivo Imaging of Skin Cancer
We present a handheld scanning system for measuring in-vivo the 3D topography of the human skin surface. The system has been envisaged for analyzing the 3D shape of skin cancer lesions, providing a more precise characterization of the lesions compared with the conventional examination done by using the naked eye and dermoscopy methods. The 3D scanning system is composed of cost-effective and co...
متن کاملConfocal White Light Microscopy
Non-contact optical techniques for 3D surface data acquisition like short coherence (white light) interferometry, optical profilers or fringe projection are well established for applications with low surface complexity, where the average surface roughness amplitude is small and neglectable compared to the form amplitudes or where the aspect ratios of amplitudes and spacings are small. In genera...
