Abstract

In recent years, the development of high techniques in the field of computer graphics, computer vision and images processing has been widely studied and applied in geometric modeling. Especially, in the field of 3D modeling and reconstruction of a 3D object from 2D images. One of these researches is the field of medical image processing. It has been invested and developed by researchers, both in computer science and medicine. This paper presents a survey research on construction and reconstruction of a 3D object from a set of 2D medical images. We first review the existing methods for building a 3D object from 2D medical image slices in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format. They come from measurement devices in medicine like X-ray Computerized Tomography (X-ray CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), etc. Thereafter, we construct an application based on the VTK library for building, visualizing and handling a 3D object from these CT scanned slices. This application can support medical staffs and doctors in diagnostic and treatment of patients.
