Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to develop a new reconstruction method for the development of Chinese Visual Human Project and provide a more accurate, complete and facilitated way to 3Dview for medical workers. This study used the software 3D Slicer to reconstruct the anatomical structures of human nose. We extracted the contour of the ROI (Region of Interest) in each single slice and added the processed volumes into 3D Slicer. The output of the segmentation process was a set of label maps of the ROI. Based on the label maps, we could reconstruct the 3Dsurface model of the interested tissue. The result shows that this method may be used for the reconstruction of nose.

Key words: three-dimensional reconstruction, nose, CT, 3D Slicer
