Abstract: | We managed to provide three-dimensional digitized visible model of the prostate and its adjacent structures and to provide
morphological data for imaging diagnosis and male urological surgery. With 3D-DOCTOR software, the contour line of prostate
and its adjacent structures including rectum, bladder, male urethra, ureter, seminal vesicle, ductus deferens, ejaculatory
ducts, obturator internus, levator ani, coccygeus, male pelvis, femur, prostatic nervous and venous plexus, internal and external
iliac arteries were segmented from the Chinese visible human (CVH)-1 data set and the three-dimensional surfaces of intrapelvic
visceras were successfully and accurately reconstructed via surface rendering, which can also be manipulated individually
and interactively. Combined with AMIRA software, surface rendering reconstructed model of male urological organs and its adjacent
structures via volume rendering reconstruction can be displayed together clearly and actually. It provides a learning tool
of practicing virtual anatomy and virtual urological surgery for medical students and younger surgeons. |
