Abstract:
The possibility of constructing three-dimensional computer models of the brain and intrabrain structures on the basis of stereotaxic atlases for calculating the geometry of structures and modeling stereotaxic operations was considered. A special program (Contour-1) was developed on the basis of the Kristiansen-Zedenberg's and Ganapatchi-Denechi algorithms with the use of the OpenGL library. Some problems were revealed, which do not allow one to construct three-dimensional models of the geometry of intrabrain structures (breaks between the sections of the brain, insufficient accuracy of the alignment of the images of sections relative one another, etc.).
