Abstract
Geometric modeling software that can realize two-dimensional medical image browsing, preprocessing, and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is designed for modeling human organs. This software performs medical image segmentation using a method that combines the region growing and the interactive segmentation methods. The Marching Cubes surface reconstruction algorithm is used to obtain a 3D geometric model. The program is compiled using Visual Studio 2010. The software is employed to obtain the geometric model of the human femur, hipbone, and muscle. The geometric modeling results can accurately express the structural information of the skeleton and muscle.
Keywords: Modeling methods, modeling programs, 3D geometric modeling, medical image segmentation.
