Abstract

In any medical data analysis a good visualization of specific parts or tissues are fundamental in order to perform accurate diagnosis and treatments. For a better understanding of the data, a segmentation process of the images to isolate the area or region of interest is important to be applied beforehand any visualization step. In this paper we present a method for mandibular structure surface extraction and reconstruction from CT-data images. We tested several methods and algorithms in order to find a fast and feasible approach that could be applicable in clinical procedures, providing practical and efficient tools for mandibular structures analysis.
