Abstract

In case of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the image of an object is taken in all 3 directions. But, all the analysis and study based on MR images is carried out on 2D data, more precisely taking a single view at a time rather than considering all 3 views. Hence, the analysis is not always accurate. A solution is to create a 3D figure that will include all three views in it, so that the doctor can see any view as per his/her wish with just one click using virtual scissors. We have developed a tool that will generate the 3D from a set of MR images in a single plane and from that we can slice out along any axis to get the view from different angle in different planes as per our wish using virtual scissors. The results show that the slices generated after reconstruction are very close to the ground truth images.
