Surface length 3D: Plugin do OsiriX para cálculo da distância em superfícies

Abstract

Traditional DICOM medical imaging software offers several tools for measuring distance, area and volume. None allow measurement of distances between points along surfaces. The shortest path between points makes it possible to calculate distances between the ostia of vessels, useful in cases of aortic aneurysms and for assessment of visceral vessels for surgical planning. Developing a plugin for OsiriX for measurement of distances along surfaces proved to be achievable. The tool still needs to be validated.
