Three Dimensional Reconstruction Models for Medical Modalities: A Comprehensive Investigation and Analysis

Abstract

Background: Image reconstruction is the mathematical process which converts the signals obtained from the scanning machine into an image. The reconstructed image plays a fundamental role in the planning of surgery and research in the medical field. Discussion: This paper introduces the first comprehensive survey of the literature about medical image reconstruction related to diseases, presenting a categorical study about the techniques and analyzing advantages and disadvantages of each technique. The images obtained by various imaging modalities like MRI, CT, CTA, Stereo radiography and Light field microscopy are included. A comparison on the basis of the reconstruction technique, Imaging Modality and Visualization, Disease, Metrics for 3D reconstruction accuracy, Dataset and Execution time, Evaluation of the technique is also performed. Conclusion: The survey makes an assessment of the suitable reconstruction technique for an organ, draws general conclusions and discusses the future directions.

Extraction and Visualization of Ocular Blood Vessels in 3D Medical Images Based on Geometric Transformation Algorithm

“…Rocha et al used Gabor transform to manipulate fundus images to extract pixels and regions that match the vessel features to obtain segmentation detection results, but the implementation process needs to be supplemented with a large number of presegmented standard images, and in most cases, there are insufficient conditions for implementation [15]. Joseph et al used a simple pulse-coupled neural network and a fast 2D Otsu threshold segmentation method combined with a distributed genetic algorithm to extract the main blood vessels and proposed a method to automatically detect the retinal blood vessels in the fundus [16]. Such methods usually require a large computational effort and are generally poorly resistant to interference and prone to misdetection [17].…”

Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Video Image Processing under Artificial Intelligence Vision Processing Technology

“…The image measurement technology combines computer, optoelectronics, laser, and other technologies for comprehensive applications, with the advantages of high accuracy and fast speed. Its essence is to select a suitable image processing algorithm for the target image processing, so that the relevant image area is free from noises; then, the image of the measurement object is segmented and extracted; and corresponding algorithms are used to measure parameters [ 11 , 12 ]. For improving the accuracy and efficiency of image measurement, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of each object to be measured in detail and select the corresponding optimal method.…”
