Study on 3D Reconstruction of Medical Image and Orthographic Views

3D reconstruction of medical image and orthographic views provide useful information for doctors. In this paper, firstly, reconstruction of medical image based on MC (Marching cubes) algorithm is implemented using Microsoft Visual C⁺⁺ and the VTK (Visualization ToolKit). Secondly, to solve the problems of huge quantities of triangle meshes and stepping effects, optimizations such as mesh simplification and mesh smoothing are presented. Finally, the method to obtain the orientation of the resliced imaging planes is presented and the orthographic views are obtained based on it. The experimental results show that optimal methods are effective and the method to get the orientation of the resliced imaging planes is practical.
