Abstract:
A method for three-dimensional image reconstruction for basal ganglion, the steps comprising:(a) acquiring computerized data of scanned two-dimensional cross-sectional atlases along three axes and a reference scale, wherein the reference scale is obtained from anterior commissures (â€œACâ€ ) and posterior commissures (â€œPCâ€ ) extracted from a computed tomography (â€œCTâ€ ) scan images; (b) transforming two-dimensional coordinates of the scanned two-dimensional cross-sectional atlases into three-dimensional coordinates in a CT scan coordinate system; and (c) reconstructing three-dimensional images of basal ganglion, wherein an interpolation using wavelet transform performed along three axes is used for image reconstruction, and wherein the three-dimensional images of basal ganglion are reconstructed from a calculating of a maximum overlapping volume based on the interpolation.
