A knowledge-based approach to 3-D reconstruction of human cerebral vasculature.
Good visualisation of the vasculature is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of brain disorders. This paper presents a new approach to 3-D reconstruction of vascular structures using knowledge-based image processing and multimodal image fusion. The task is to reconstruct the human cerebro-vascular system from the partial information collected from a variety of medical imaging instruments and then recombine these limited models into an anatomically accurate one.
