| Abstract: | This study presents an open-source 3D
reconstruction and visualization technique using Visualization Toolkit (VTK) on
magnetic resonance image (MRI) for Nuchal Translucency (NT) assessment. Real
time 3D reconstruction model can be achieved through a series of computation
processes, which include DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine)
sources manipulation, grey interpolations, ray casting, color and opacity
transfer function, and volume rendering. Experimental simulations show that 3D
measurements of NT provide higher accuracy and consistency of thickness
measurement. |
