MeMoS — A software tool for extraction of anatomical structures data from 3D medical images
Zbigniew Tyfa, Michał Strzelecki · 2016
MeMoS (Medical Model Sketcher), a software package that provides data required to reconstruct 3D medical models, basing on DICOM and RAW image sets, is presented. The uttermost objective of the software creation was to reduce a time needed to perform laborious data extraction process from medical images (necessary for the model reconstruction), without the need of purchasing expensive licenses for already existing programs. Obtained data can be used in any CAD software to recreate the spatial object. Generated 3D models of vascular systems can be used in numerical simulations so as to investigate the physical phenomena occurring in the circulatory system. Additionally, MeMoS is capable of creating datasets for texture analysis - that can be directly fed to the input of texture analysis software. Several results of the possible program output along with preliminary validation of implemented algorithms are outlined as well.
