Morphological and Volumetric Assessment of Cerebral Ventricular System with 3D Slicer Software

Abstract:

We present a technological process based on the 3D Slicer software for the three-dimensional study of the brain’s ventricular system with teaching purposes. It values the morphology of this complex brain structure, as a whole and in any spatial position, being able to compare it with pathological studies, where its anatomy visibly changes. 3D Slicer was also used to obtain volumetric measurements in order to provide a more comprehensive and detail representation of the ventricular system. We assess the potential this software has for processing high resolution images, taken from Magnetic Resonance and generate the three-dimensional reconstruction of ventricular system.
