Comparative Study of 3D Reconstruction Methods for Medical Imaging

Abstract

The work presented in this paper is about comparison and analysis of four different reconstruction methods applicable to MR images. Two of them are based on the marching cube algorithm and the other two are contour based algorithms. We describe the studied reconstruction methods and compare their results. The comparative study examined, allows to establish similarity, equivalence, or distinctness between the four methods. We show that the various reconstruction methods produce different 3D models and each one has its own advantages and limitations.
