3D nerve: A three-dimensional reconstruction system for peripheral nerves

Repair and regeneration of injured peripheral nerves have always been a focus in the field of orthopedics. Traditional nerve atlas contains only two-dimensional information and canpsilat display the real cross and recombination process of nerve bundles in its whole length. To solve this problem, a s...

Description
Summary:Repair and regeneration of injured peripheral nerves have always been a focus in the field of orthopedics. Traditional nerve atlas contains only two-dimensional information and canpsilat display the real cross and recombination process of nerve bundles in its whole length. To solve this problem, a system, 3D nerve, is proposed for the 3D reconstruction of peripheral nerves. Through image registration, image segmentation, contour correspondence and surface reconstruction process, this system successfully represents the topographic anatomy of every nerve fascicle and its relationship with the nicety localization information of sense fibers and motor ones in arbitrary sections. It is a great help for clinical peripheral nerve repair and 3D peripheral nerve teaching.
