SBIR Phase II: Complete Software System for 3D Surface Modeling of Anatomy from 2D Sections

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）二期项目将完成研究并启动一个软件系统的实施，该软件系统可以有效地从二维切片数据（如CT、MRI、超声和冷冻切片）中创建解剖结构的3D多边形网格表面模型。该软件系统将集成到一个平台上，包括半自动分割模块、基于3D模型的注册模块、自动连接三角测量模块和后处理系统。这些模块的集成将提供一种新的创新方式来捕获和提供专家知识，以协助创建高精度的3D表面解剖模型。解剖结构的3D多边形网格模型被不同的群体使用，如研究人员、教育工作者、医疗专业人员、诊断人员、多媒体出版商、模拟设计专家以及娱乐和游戏行业工程师。该软件将允许这些不同的群体以更合理的价格和比目前更快的速度高效地创建自己的模型

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will complete the research and initiate the implementation of a software system that can efficiently create 3D polygonal mesh surface models of anatomical structures from 2D section data such as CT, MRI, ultrasound and cryosections. The software system will be integrated onto single platform with a semi-automated segmentation module, a 3D model-based registration module, an automatic connectivity triangulation module and a post-processing system. The integration of these modules will provide a new and innovative way to capture and deliver expert knowledge for assisting in the creation of highly accurate 3D surface anatomical models. 3D polygonal mesh models of anatomical structures are used by diverse groups such as researchers, educators, medical professionals, diagnosticians, multimedia publishers, simulation design specialists, and entertainment and gaming industry engineers. This software would allow these diverse groups to efficiently create their own models at a more reasonable price and at a much faster rate than is currently possible
