Abstract :
To develop tools for stent designer to acquire the parameters of diseased vessel to manufacture a patient-specific stent, we have developed a system able to process and visualize three-dimensional (3D) medical data, reconstruct the geometry of arteries of specific patients and export the volume data of them. Medical image processing platform (MIPP) is based on an integrated set of tools, each dedicated to a specific aspect of the data processing and simulation pipeline: image processing and segmentation; 3D geometry reconstruction; and collaborative visualization. The system can also be used for the modern cardiovascular surgeon to study and interpret the constantly increasing amount of information being produced by noninvasive imaging equipment and guide them during the surgery.
