Computer graphics using a personal computer were introduced to demonstrate the three-dimensional architecture of cutaneous arteries of the back in humans: the direct cutaneous artery of the circumflex scapular artery and the perforating cutaneous branches and musculocutaneous perforators of the superficial cervical, posterior intercostal, and thoracodorsal arteries. The entire thickness of the skin and underlying subcutaneous tissue over the deep fascia was obtained from five fresh cadavers injected systemically with lead oxide-gelatin mixture, and the integument was divided into the three layers; the skin, superficial adipofascial layer with the superficial fascia, and the deep adipofascial layer. Computer graphic reconstruction of the cutaneous arteries was performed using data based on angiograms of the three layers. The computer graphic depictions demonstrated in which layer cutaneous arteries branched and how the vessels were running in each layer by displaying each layer in different colors: red, yellow, and blue. Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure and architecture of the cutaneous arteries will aid in the development of flaps that use a portion of the skin and subcutaneous adipofascial tissue.
利用个人计算机进行计算机图形学操作，以展示人类背部皮肤动脉的三维结构：旋肩胛动脉的直接皮动脉以及颈浅动脉、肋间后动脉和胸背动脉的穿支皮支和肌皮穿支。从五具经全身注射氧化铅 - 明胶混合物的新鲜尸体获取深筋膜上方皮肤及下方皮下组织的全层厚度，将皮肤分为三层：皮肤层、带有浅筋膜的浅脂肪筋膜层和深脂肪筋膜层。基于三层血管造影数据进行皮肤动脉的计算机图形重建。通过以不同颜色（红色、黄色和蓝色）显示各层，计算机图形描绘展示了皮肤动脉在何层分支以及血管在各层中的走行情况。了解皮肤动脉的三维结构和构筑将有助于开发利用部分皮肤和皮下脂肪筋膜组织的皮瓣。
