3-D IMAGING IN MEDICINE IS A METHOD IN WHICH A SET OF DATA IS COLLECTED FROM A 3-D OBJECT, PROCESSED BY A COMPUTER, AND DISPALAYED ON A 2-D COMPUTER MONITOR TO GIVE THE ILLUSION OF DEPTH.
APPLICATIONS OF 3-D IN RADIOLOGY • RAD. THERAPY • CRANIOFACIAL IMAGING • ORTHOPEDICS • NEUROSURGERY • CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY • ANGIOGRAPHY • MRI • ENDOSCOPY (VIRTUAL)
THE GENERATION OF 3-D OBJECT USING COMPUTER SOFTWARE IS CALLED MODELING
EXTRUSIONIS A MODELING TECHNIQUE THAT GENERATES A 3-D OBJECT FROM A 2 –D PROFILE ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN.
PIXEL AREA B A A= WIDTH B= HEIGTH AREA OF THE PIXEL = A x B
VOXEL VOLUME B A C A= WIDTH B= HEIGTH C-DEPTH (SLICE THICKNESS) VOLUME OF THE VOXEL = A x B x C
DATA ACQUSITION FOR 3-D • CONVENTIONAL SLICE BY SLICE • VOLUME DATA ACQUSITION
PROBLEMS WITH CONVENTIONAL SLICE BY SLICE ACQUISITION IN 3-D GENERATION • MOTION - STAIR-STEP ARTIFACT • MIREGISTRATION
PROCESSING FOR 3-D • SEGMENTATION • TRESHOLDING • OBJECT DELINEATION • RENDERING
SEGMENTATION • PROCESSING TECHNIQUE USED TO IDENTIFY THE STRUCTURE OF INTEREST IN A GIVEN IMAGE. IT DETERMINES WHICH VOXEL ARE PART OF THE OBJECT AND SHOULD BE DISPLAYED AND WHICH ARE NOT AND SHOULD BE DISCARDED.
TRESHOLDING • METHOD OF CLASSIFYING THE TYPES OF TISSUES REPRESENTED BY EACH OF THE VOXELS. CT NUMBER IS USED TO DETERMINE THIS.
DELINEATION • BOUNDARY EXTRACTION • VOLUME EXTRACTION
RENDERING • 3-D IMAGE IS TRANSFORMED INTO SIMULATED 3-D IMAGE SO IT CAN BE DISPLAYED ON THE 2-D MONITOR.
RENDERING TECHNIQUES • SURFACE RENDERING – SHADED SURFACE DISPLAY (SSD) • VOLUME RENDERING
SURFACE RENDERING-SSD • SIMPLER OF THE TWO METHODS. DISPLAYS THE IMAGE ACCORDING TO ITS CALCULATIONS OF HOW THE LIGHT RAYS WOULD BE REFLECTED TO THE VIEWERS EYES. • COMPUTER CREATES INTERNAL REPRESENTATION OF SURFACES
ADVANTAGE OF SSD • NOT MUCH COMPUTING POWER REQUIRED • ONLY CONTOUR INF IS USED
DISADVANTAGES OF SSD • INFO OF STRUCTURES INSIDE OR BEHIND THE SURFACE IS NOT DISPLAYED!!
VOLUME RENDERING • SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUE. 3-D IMAGES HAVE BETTER QUALITY THAN IN SURFACE RENDERING. USES ENTIRE DATA SET FROM 3-D SPACE. IT REQUIRES MORE COMPUTING POWER.
ADVANTAGES OF VOLUME RENDERING (VR) • UNLIKE SSD, VOLUME RENDERING ALLOWS SEEING THROUGH SURFACES. IT ALLOWS THE VIEWER TO SEE BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STRUCTURES.
DISADVANTAGE/S • IT REQUIRES GREAT COMPUTING POWER – SOPHISTICATED COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
MAXIMUM INTENSITY PROJECTION • VOLUME RENDERING 3-D TECHNIQUE THAT IS NOW FREQUENTLY USED IN CTA ( CT ANGIO) IT USES LESS THAN 10% OF DATA IN 3-D SPACE. IT DOES NOT NEED SOPHISTICATED COMPUTING. IT ORIGINATED IN MRA
MIP ALLOWS ONLY THE VOXEL WITH THE BRIGHTEST VALUE TO BE SELECTED
ADVANTAGES OF MIP • NO NEED FOR SOPHISTICATED COMPUTER HARDWARE- IT USES LESS THAN 10% OF DATA
DISADVANTAGE/S OF MIP • ARTIFACT- STRING OF BEADS • NO SUPERIMPOSED STRUCTURES DEMONSTRATION
