Three-dimensional reconstruction from computed tomography images of respiratory system in New Zealand rabbits

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı solunum sistemi organlarının bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntülerinden üç boyutlu görüntü ve biyometrik değerler elde edilmesini sağlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada 6 adet Yeni Zelanda tavşanı kullanıldı. Tavşanların yüzükoyun pozisyonda iken genel anestezi altında bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri alındı. Bilgisayarlı tomografiden elde edilen axial görüntüler DI-COM formatında kaydedildi. MIMICS® 12.1 bilgisayar programı kullanılarak üç boyutlu rekonstrüksiyon işlemi gerçekleştirildi. Solunum sistemi organlarının hacim ve yüzey alanı program yardımıyla otomatik olarak hesaplandı. Bulgular: Solunum sistemi organlarının yüzey alanı ve hacmi sırasıyla 22447 $mm^2$ ve 68028 $mm^3$ olarak tespit edildi. Öneri: Bu çalışmada kullanılan teknolojiden elde dilen sonuçlar anatomi biliminde yeni araştırmalar ve yaklaşımlara kaynak olabilir.

Yeni Zelanda tavşanlarında solunum sisteminin bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntülerinin üç boyutlu hale getirilmesi

Aim: The aim of this study was to produce three-dimen-sional reconstructions of organs of the respiratory system obtained from computed tomography images, and also to determine the biometric parameters of the organs studied.Materials and Methods: A total of 6 New Zealand white rabbits were used. Computed tomographic imaging was performed under general anaesthesia with the rabbits in the prone position. Axial images obtained from computed tomography were stored in DICOM format. Three-dimensional reconstructions were produced using MIMICS® 12.1 computer software. The volume and surface area of the organs of the respiratory system were calculated automatically by the software.Results: The surface area and the volume of the respiratory system were 22447 $mm^2$ and 68028 $mm^3$, respectively.Conclusion: The results obtained using the technology applied in this study may be a key to future investigations and to a new approach to anatomical science.
