User Friendly Two- and Three-Dimensional Brain Tumor Visualization

Abstract

This paper presents combination of two dimensional original and preprocessed brain tumor computerized tomography (CT) medical images with three-dimensional volumetric model. The methodology included performing segmentation on images using one of the available or newly developed algorithms from 37 patients. User-friendly two- and three-dimensional visualization is proposed. The results obtained in this paper can be new paradigm in the surgical assistance tools and brain tumor treatment.
