Abstract:

BACKGROUND: A thorough anatomical knowledge of the arteries in the sellar region is important for the diagnosis and operation of cerebrovascular diseases. It is very important to develop a digitized visible model that can illustrate the complex anatomy of the arteries in the sellar region.
OBJECTIVE: To develop a digitized visible model of the arteries in the sellar region for anatomy observation of the arteries in the sellar region.
METHODS: According to CT data of one patient, a digitized visible model of the arteries in the sellar region was constructed by Mimics software, and the arteries in the sellar region were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional model of the arteries in the sellar region was successfully constructed, which could observe the arterial distribution and branch artery at the sellar region from different angles and dimensions, and demonstrate the individual anatomic features of the arteries in the sellar region. The model allowed the user to interact with the data and manipulate, and observe anatomy in special visual field. The method for creating a digitized visible model using Mimics software is simple and feasible.
