Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy known for its non-invasive and non-destructive nature, has been widely applied in biomedical and clinical research. Especially it has a profound contribution in the diagnosis and therapy of cerebral tumor.
OBJECTIVE: The spatial location registration of magnetic resonance spectroscopic multi-voxel can help doctors to find out the location of diseased tissue in brain accurately.
METHODS: Utilizing the development tool of visualization toolkit (VTK), the virtual 3D voxel and 2D medical image were reconstructed in space coordinates. In addition, the relative spatial location of the multiple voxels, the single voxel of the multiple voxels and the image was retrieved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The spatial location registration of magnetic resonance spectroscopic multi-voxel is realized based on VTK.
