Reconstruction of the Boundary Representation of the Great Vessel from Cardiac CT Images

Abstract

We present a prototype system for reconstruction of the boundary representation for a great vessel from a set of CT images. The system includes segmentation of great vessel, finding the contours for the boundary of the great vessel, and triangulation a pair of corresponding contours. In this system, we tried to reduce the user interface. The subtasks that still need many user interfaces are the segmentation step and determining the corresponding contours that need to be connected. Many Computational Geometry techniques are employed so that we can generate a good quality triangulation.
