Abstract：
:This paper presents a data-driven method for the reconstruction and visualisation of curvilinear slices from three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) scans of the head. Visualisation of curvilinear slices, rather than standard planar slices, produces symmetrical views of the cortex and allows small abnormalities to be detected by comparing the two hemispheres of the brain. In our method, the surface defined by the upper half of the brain is used as a reference shape for curvilinear reconstructions. The brain is first segmented from the 3D scan using a 3D region growing method associated to an unsupervised threshold selection technique. The upper half of the segmented brain is then extracted and fitted by a deformable surface model. This surface is finally interactively moved by the operator in the 3D scan, to visualise the desired curvilinear slice, which is projected on the screen as a two-dimensional image. We show an application of this visualisation technique to the localisation of cerebral epileptogenic lesions. The procedure has proven efficient and handy in clinical use.
