3D Reconstruction of Shoulder Joint Images
- Using Free Image Processing Software: OsiriX -

Abstract

We report 3D(3Dimension) reconstruction of shoulder joint images using OsiriX (free image processing software for Macintosh). Here is how to use OsiriX. 1)download and install Osirix from the internet to your own personal computer. 2)export the dicom (digital image communication in medicine) voxel data to your own personal computer. 3)analyze the data using OsiriX, and then automatically complete 3D reconstruction. OsiriX can reconstruct large data speedily, and show free cutting images. Also OsiriX has virtual endoscopy mode, and can output fly through movies which are automatically made by connecting selected images. These images help us to deepen our 3dimensional and cross - sectional understanding, and explain them to young doctors and patients. We concluded that 3D reconstruction of shoulder joint image using OsiriX on your own personal computer is very useful.
