  • Abstract
    Several tools and applications help doctors in medical area. 3D models generated by various visualization methods are currently used in disease diagnosis and treatment. During 3D model generation, several problems arise. One of the major problems of generating 3D models from consecutive 2D slices is surface construction. This study presents a surface construction method, fair tiling, which is used to generate surfaces of from arbitrary points. These points are gathered from CT images to construct vessel-like structures. Fair tiling presents an easier structure compared to other methods in the area.
