ABSTRACT
We present a technological process based on the 3D Slicer software for the three-dimensional study of the brain's ventricular system with teaching purposes. It values the morphology of this complex brain structure, in any spatial position or as a whole, being able to compare it with pathological studies where its anatomy visibly changes. This will lead to a better understanding of the ventricle's anatomy and radiology. We assess the potential this software has for processing radiological images, taken from Magnetic Resonance serial sections and the three-dimensional reconstruction of anatomical structures.

Software applications for the digital management radiological images in the study of the corticospinal tract
TEEM'18: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing MulticulturalityThe anatomy of the nerve fibers of the central nervous system is one of the most difficult anatomical areas to study in the entire body. This is due to the fact that, until less than 20 years ago, it was necessary to dissect the brain in order to see ...
Brain MR Image Tumor Segmentation with Ventricular Deformation
ICIG '11: Proceedings of the 2011 Sixth International Conference on Image and GraphicsThis paper addresses the issue of the weak association between brain MRI intensity value and anatomical meaning of MR image pixels. By investigating the deformation on brain lateral ventricles and compression from tumor, the correlation between them is ...
