To observe the normal structure of lumbar plexus in the virtual Chinese Human (VCH) Female I and Male III and establish a digitized visible model of their lumbar plexus.
The cross-sectional images from the VCH Female I and Male III dataset were reviewed to study lumbar plexus structures on a section-by-section basis. The nerve roots, major psoas muscle and blood vessels were also observed. Three-dimensional computerized reconstructions of lumbar plexus and its adjacent structures were conducted from these data using Amira 3.1 (TGS) imaging software respectively.
The three-dimensional reconstructed visible models perfectly displayed the anatomic relationships of lumbar plexus structures and their adjacent structures.
VCH Female I and Male III dataset can provide complete and accurate data of main structure of lumbar plexus. The digitized models of lumbar plexus offer unique insights into the complex anatomy, and morphologic data for imaging diagnosis and treatment of the injury of lumbar plexus.
观察虚拟中国女性Ⅰ号和男性Ⅲ号数据集（VCH）中腰丛的正常结构，并建立其腰丛的数字化可视模型。
回顾VCH女性Ⅰ号和男性Ⅲ号数据集中的横断面图像，逐节研究腰丛结构。同时观察神经根、主要腰大肌和血管。分别使用Amira 3.1（TGS）成像软件从这些数据对腰丛及其相邻结构进行三维计算机重建。
三维重建的可视模型完美展示了腰丛结构及其相邻结构的解剖关系。
VCH女性Ⅰ号和男性Ⅲ号数据集可为腰丛主要结构提供完整准确的数据。腰丛的数字化模型为深入了解复杂解剖结构以及腰丛损伤的影像诊断和治疗提供了形态学数据。
