A level set based algorithm to reconstruct the urinary bladder from multiple views

Abstract

The urinary bladder can be visualized from different views by imaging facilities such as Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Multi-view imaging can present more details of this pelvic organ and contribute to a more reliable reconstruction. Based on the information from multi-view planes, a level set based algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the 3D shape of the bladder using the cross-sectional boundaries. The algorithm provides a flexible solution to handle the discrepancies from different view planes and can obtain an accurate bladder surface with more geometric details.
