3D Multi-Modality Medical Imaging: Combining Anatomical and Infrared Thermal Images for 3D Reconstruction
Medical thermography provides an overview of the human body with two-dimensional (2D) information that assists the identification of temperature changes, based on the analysis of surface distribution. However, this approach lacks spatial depth information, which can be enhanced by adding multiple im...

description | Medical thermography provides an overview of the human body with two-dimensional (2D) information that assists the identification of temperature changes, based on the analysis of surface distribution. However, this approach lacks spatial depth information, which can be enhanced by adding multiple images or three-dimensional (3D) systems. Therefore, the methodology applied for this paper generates a 3D point cloud (from thermal infrared images), a 3D geometry model (from CT images), and the segmented inner anatomical structures. Thus, the following computational processing was employed: Structure from Motion (SfM), image registration, and alignment (affine transformation) between the 3D models obtained to combine and unify them. This paper presents the 3D reconstruction and visualization of the respective geometry of the neck/bust and inner anatomical structures (thyroid, trachea, veins, and arteries). Additionally, it shows the whole 3D thermal geometry in different anatomical sections (i.e., coronal, sagittal, and axial), allowing it to be further examined by a medical team, improving pathological assessments. The generation of 3D thermal anatomy models allows for a combined visualization, i.e., functional and anatomical images of the neck region, achieving encouraging results. These 3D models bring correlation of the inner and outer regions, which could improve biomedical applications and future diagnosis with such a methodology. |
