Objective:
To build proper three-dimensional models of human organs for radiation dose calculation.
Method:
Human organ models were built by contour reconstruction algorithm conforming to 4 criteria. The contours of the organs were extracted based on the contours of the reconstructed organ surfaces, and the three-dimensional models with smooth surface, exact structure and good visibility were completed by computer graphic techniques such as lighting, smoothing, and normal average.
Result And Conclusion:
Several organ models were successfully reconstructed, suggesting that this method is suitable for building three-dimensional digital human organ models which can meet the need for dose calculation.
