The aim of this work was to develop and employ software for the study of the common carotid artery and its branches in the neck. We first constructed geometric models of anatomic components, for the building of knowledge bases to be used in automatic feature extraction techniques from images. Then, we developed a software system characterised by three-dimensional visualisation, image processing functions, knowledge base and a programming language to describe classification processing by means of fuzzy logic. The software system was used to perform automatic reconstruction of three-dimensional models of carotid arteries from contiguous CT scans of the neck. These findings suggest that such software systems represent a useful help in the study of image based diagnosis of carotid arteries.
这项工作的目的是开发并应用软件来研究颈部的颈总动脉及其分支。我们首先构建了解剖结构的几何模型，用于建立知识库，以便在从图像中自动提取特征的技术中使用。然后，我们开发了一个软件系统，其特点是具有三维可视化、图像处理功能、知识库以及一种用于通过模糊逻辑描述分类处理的编程语言。该软件系统用于根据颈部连续的CT扫描自动重建颈动脉的三维模型。这些发现表明，此类软件系统在基于图像的颈动脉诊断研究中是一种有用的辅助工具。
