Method for preparing anatomical models in human and veterinary medicine, involves acquisitioning of image of patient data through two-dimension or three-dimension ultrasound, and exporting image data from ultrasound device

摘要

The method involves acquisitioning of image of patient data through two-dimension or three-dimension ultrasound with an ultrasound device. The image data is exported from the ultrasound device. The image data is imported into an image-processing software. Relevant anatomical structures are segmented with edge detection. Support points are specified by manual segmentation and semi-automatic segmentation. A real model is prepared with the rapid prototyping device.
