Title
An improved method for generating virtual stretched view of stomach based on shape deformation
Abstract
In this paper, we describe an improved method for generating a virtual stretched image of the stomach based on shape deformation. In observing large cavity organs, such as the stomach, a flattened view of the organs would be very useful in diagnosis. The proposed method generates a virtual stretched image by deforming a 3-D gray image. We generate a polygon model consisting of a set of triangular patches that approximates the global shape of the stomach (approximating shape). An original 3-D image is deformed by using the corresponding relationship between the cut and flattened shapes of the approximating shape. We can obtain a flattened view (virtual pathological specimen) from the deformed image. The proposed method was applied to eight cases of 3-D abdominal CT images. Experimental results showed that the proposed method can effectively generate a flattened view of the organ.
