Abstract

Medical image segmentation and 3D mesh generation are the two critical challenges for numerical analysis based on medical images. Seamlessly linking different segmented results to appropriate mesh generation algorithms should be greatly beneficial for automatic and rapid finite element modeling from medical images. We present the interface representation models between segmentation and mesh generation algorithms and briefly discuss the input requirements of several well-established meshing algorithms.
