Abstract

TMost of the medical images that are being used today are to confirm the existence of lesions. These kind of medical images can not only be used to confirm lesions but if we could use it for academic studies or for analysis and reference materials for surgical operations, it could offer great help in medical studies. Furthermore, we could reduce the number of errors in treatment through simulations in the surgical operations and treatments. In this paper, the necessary parts regarding the medical image visuals were extracted through the point cloud and by using the information obtained through it, it manufactures the necessary information for academic studies, diagnoses or operations. By designing and realizing the system which makes simulation possible with the manufactured information, the paper attempts to provide a more effective way to approach academic studies or giving appropriate diagnoses in the treatment of patients.

오늘날 사용하고 있는 의료용 영상의 대부분은 주로 병변을 확인하기 위한 수단으로 이용되고 있는데, 이러한 의료용 영상을 병변 확인뿐만 아니라 학술적 연구나 외과적 수술 처치를 위한 분석 및 참고 자료로 이용할 수 있다면 의학적 학술 연구에 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 외과적 수술 처치 및 치료에서 선행 시뮬레이션을 통하여 처치 오류를 줄일 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 의료용 이미지 영상에 대해 해당 영상에서 필요한 부분을 벡터 형식의 점(point cloud)들로 추출하고, 이들 벡터 정보를 이용하여 연구나 진료 및 수술에서 필요한 정보로 가공하여 시뮬레이션이 가능하도록 하는 시스템을 설계하고 구현함으로써 학술적 연구나 환자에 대한 진단 처치에 보다 효율적으로 접근할 수 있는 방법을 제공하고자 하였다.
