Abstract :
Computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR, MRI) are modern and valuable diagnostic methods in a wide range of medical applications. Their significant advantage lies in the ability to image individual slices of the patient. The presented article details our software allowing the viewing of individual slices, slice reconstruction in various projections, detailed analysis of slices and 3D reconstruction of desired object(s). Another feature allows for the localization of various anatomical structures for further evaluation of parameters that are not feasibly obtainable and may be used in further evaluation of patient health or other medical modalities.
