[Creation of Stereo-paired Color Vascular Anatomical Charts Using 3-dimentional Images]

Three-dimensional (3D) images of blood vessels in the human body, which are acquired by X-ray computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam CT of Angiography devices, are widely used in medical diagnosis and treatment. Using the 3DCT images of blood vessels, we created stereo-paired color vascular anatomical charts for better understanding of vascular anatomy in clinical settings, patient explanations, and student education. Since it is difficult to distinguish branches of blood vessels that show three-dimensionally complicated running such as cerebral blood vessels, we made it easier to identify them anatomically by color-coding each branch of the blood vessel. Also, by using stereo-paired images, we can see the three-dimensional blood vessel running. In the past anatomical books and vascular anatomy atlas, there was no anatomical chart of the whole body blood vessels that could be color-coded and stereoscopically viewed. We have made it possible to identify blood vessels by the stereoscopic vision of the blood vessels using this stereo-paired color anatomical chart. In addition, this vascular anatomical chart can be additionally revised according to the needs of the clinical and educational settings to be used, and the data can be converted into an electronic file so that it can be easily used in the field of radiological examination or at home through electronic media.
