This tutorial explores creating 3-D patient anatomy images from CT and MRI scans. Advanced processing techniques like multiplanar reconstruction and volumetric processing generate detailed anatomical visualizations for medical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Anatomical Visualization

Background:

  • The increasing volume of tomographic imaging data (CT, MRI) necessitates advanced visualization methods.
  • Surgeons, radiation therapists, and radiologists require integrated views of patient anatomy.
  • Three-dimensional (3-D) imaging has emerged as a critical tool over the past decade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a tutorial on methods for creating 3-D images of patient anatomy.
  • To explain the integration and processing of tomographic imaging data.
  • To highlight the applications of 3-D imaging in medical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) to reslice image volumes and create novel anatomical views.
  • Shaded surface processing for realistic 3-D object rendering.
