Surface Models of the Gastrointestinal Tract and Neighboring Structures Made from the Visible Korean Human

Abstract

dc:description

Surface models of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and neighboring abdominal structures can be opened and rotated in a real time, which is helpful to understanding anatomy of digestive system. However, we could not find objective surface models made from the serially sectioned images. In order to make the surface models, whole length of the GI tract was outlined in the serially sectioned images of the Visible Korean Human; the outlining was supported by the enhanced technique of filtering and interpolation. Subsequently, highly curved GI tract was divided into several parts, and each part was surface reconstructed and united with one another to acquire a surface model of GI tract. Likewise, about 100 surface models of other neighboring structures were prepared. The surface models are expected to encourage other investigators to develop medical training systems such as virtual abdominal operation. Additionally, the improved technique of outlining and surface reconstruction is expected to inspire other investigators to easily make their own surface models from other serial images.
