It is difficult for medical students and novice clinicians to interpret cardiac computed tomographs and echocardiographs. This study was intended to help familiarize them with the clinical images of the heart by providing software to browse the various planes of a heart's volume model with real color and high resolution.
On the sectioned images of a male cadaver, the heart and adjacent structures were segmented to obtain color-filled images. Volume models of the sectioned images and color-filled images were reconstructed and sectioned to obtain three orthogonal planes and five standard oblique planes. The planes were inputted into lab-made browsing software, which was then distributed free of charge.
Users of the software would hopefully progress as follows. After experiencing the real color and high resolution, they would become familiar with the grayscale and low resolution. After experiencing the automatic annotation of the basic heart structures, they would become familiar with the detailed structures. After experiencing the designated planes, they would become familiar with the arbitrary planes. After experiencing the still heart, they would become familiar with the moving heart during echocardiography.
The software, with a user-friendly interface and realistic features, is expected to properly orient medical novices to cardiac computed tomography and echocardiography images.
对于医学生和新手临床医生来说，解读心脏计算机断层扫描（CT）和超声心动图比较困难。本研究旨在通过提供一种软件，帮助他们熟悉心脏的临床图像，该软件可浏览心脏容积模型的各个平面，呈现真实的颜色和高分辨率。
对男性尸体的切片图像进行分割，获得彩色填充的图像。对切片图像和彩色填充图像的容积模型进行重建和切片，以获得三个正交平面和五个标准斜平面。将这些平面输入到自制的浏览软件中，并免费分发。
软件用户有望按照以下顺序逐步熟悉相关内容。在体验了真实的颜色和高分辨率之后，他们将逐渐熟悉灰度和低分辨率。在体验了基本心脏结构的自动标注后，他们将逐渐熟悉详细结构。在体验了指定平面后，他们将逐渐熟悉任意平面。在体验了静止的心脏后，他们将逐渐熟悉超声心动图中运动的心脏。
该软件具有用户友好的界面和逼真的特点，有望帮助医学新手正确理解心脏 CT 和超声心动图图像。
