Abstract:
MRI and CT scanners have long been used to produce three-dimensional samplings of anatomy elements for use in medical visualization and analysis. From such datasets, it is often desired that a smooth, parameterized surface be reconstructed. Such models are useful not only for visualization, but also as finite element models on which simulations and further processing can be performed.
