Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Human brain anatomy is complex and difficult to visualize.
  • Standard Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides flat slices, limiting full structural comprehension.
  • Existing visualization methods are insufficient for detailed internal analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a virtual reality (VR) application for immersive exploration of 3D brain models.
  • To improve the visualization and understanding of intricate human brain structures.
  • To create an accessible tool for medical and educational analysis of brain anatomy.

Main Methods:

  • Generated complete 3D brain models from MRI data.
  • Implemented VR exploration with random planar cuts and color cluster isolation.
  • Designed an indexed vertex triangulation algorithm for efficient mobile device display.

Main Results:

  • Developed a VR application capable of generating and displaying interactive 3D brain models.
  • The application allows internal exploration through user-controlled cuts and segmentation.
  • An efficient algorithm enables visualization on standard mobile devices.

Conclusions:

  • The VR application effectively complements traditional lectures by offering enhanced visualization of brain structures.
  • VR technology provides a superior method for observing complex human brain anatomy.
  • The developed tool shows promise for improving anatomical education and medical analysis.
