Stereographic reconstruction of human brain CT series.
A relatively simple method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of brain contours from a series of CT scans is presented. A procedure is described for storing the structural information obtained from the CT series and for organizing and displaying the data. Furthermore, it is shown how additional features such as standardized artery information taken from an atlas can be superimposed on the spatially reconstructed brain model. It is proposed that three-dimensional representations in the form of computed stereo pairs are quite suitable for morphological documentation of specific neuropsychological issues, such as the localization of aphasic syndromes.
