Abstract

Background: Computed Tomography (CT) scanning offers an accurate structural definition of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues; however, mental integration of cross-sectional 2D CT images for a 3D understanding of complex anatomical structures becomes difficult when the field of view is confined to the temporal bone. This project tried to provide a feasible solution to this problem by creating a navigable 3D virtual model which may aid in better comprehension of the temporal bone anatomy.

Methods: A helical-CT scan was used to obtain high-resolution cross-sectional slices of a cadaveric human temporal bone. Using the volume-rendering capabilities of 3D Slicer^®, which involves volume data management, cropping of the data set, and threshold painting, detailed anatomical structures were segmented based on the intensity captured from different regions. This volumetric data was converted to an interactive virtual model using Blender^®.

Results: The final product is a web page that allows interaction and navigation with a 3D annotated model of the temporal bone, which can be accessed from any device with a web browser.

Conclusion: This model can function as a training tool for students, teachers, and practitioners to understand and review the complex anatomy of the temporal bone.

一个可导航的三维虚拟颞骨解剖模型的开发。

背景:计算机断层扫描(CT)提供了骨骼、血管和软组织的精确结构定义;然而，当视野局限于颞骨时，对于复杂解剖结构的三维理解的2D横断面CT图像的心理整合变得困难。这个项目试图通过创建一个可导航的3D虚拟模型来为这个问题提供一个可行的解决方案，这可能有助于更好地理解颞骨解剖。方法:采用螺旋ct扫描获得高分辨率的人颞骨横切面。使用3D切片器®的体积渲染功能，包括体积数据管理，数据集的裁剪和阈值绘画，根据从不同区域捕获的强度对详细的解剖结构进行分割。使用Blender®将该体积数据转换为交互式虚拟模型。结果:最终产品是一个网页，允许与颞骨的3D注释模型进行交互和导航，可以从任何带有web浏览器的设备访问。结论:该模型可作为学生、教师和从业人员了解和复习颞骨复杂解剖结构的培训工具。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
