Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional model of medical images can provide direct visual reference for medical workers. Accurate three-dimensional structure of cardiac has an increasingly prominent on the clinical diagnosis.
OBJECTIVE: To accomplish the three-dimensional structure reconstruction of continuous multi-frame ultrasound images from the B scan.
METHODS: With the help of the toolkits including Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Segmentation & Registration Toolkit (ITK), the method of Ray Casting was adopted to realize the three-dimensional construction of cardiac ultrasonic image using the given DICOM continuous multi-frame of medical ultrasound images, under the platform of VC++. In the designed system, user could interact with the three-dimensional images through clicking the mouse and figure the image from any view.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The results show that composite volume rendering is more feasible in the reconstruction.
