Computer graphic reconstruction of the human liver

Abstract

The aim of the study was to map the liver with subsequent computer graphic restoration of its surface. Used coordinate system was proposed by prof.M.P.Burykh. In the course of the study, the standardization of test sections for the distribution of the hepatic volume gradient was carried out, where the volume of the largest gradient was recorded in the second and third sections of the liver; the stereometric extrapolation of the third secant plane onto the vertebral column, which corresponds to the intervertebral space of Th10-Th11. Thus, intersecting planes form a multidimensional system of topographic coordinates of the human liver, based on the resulting distribution of the gradient volume. The proposed system describes the topographic coordinates, and the coordinates reflect each segment of the liver, analyzed in a Cartesian coordinate system, gives an idea of the position of the body in space.
