3D Construction of Brain using 2D MRI Slices

Abstract

Medical image analysis plays a more and more major role in medicine. Detection and analysis of risks causing cancer and other medical issues in early-stage help to prevent death. PET, CT, X-ray and MRI are the medical imagining techniques used. There have been a number of researches have done on constructing the 3D model for better analysis of the structure. The paper is proposed about the construction of a 3D brain model using 2D slices of MRI. The 3 different images of the brain are considered (T1, T2 and PD). The image registration is applied to T1, T2 and PD and fusion is done. The fused image includes of the complete detail of the brain, these 2D slices are used to construct the 3D model. The 3D map is created and surface to volume construction is applied to build the 3D model.
