Abstract

Objective Digital three-dimensional (3D) anatomical model have promoted anatomy education and clinical research and treatment. However, most existing digital 3D models of Chinese human are based on standard human subjects which do not include the anatomical variations between different individuals. This limitation hampers the users’ understanding of inter-subject organ morphology variations. Therefore, we constructed a web-based 3D visualization system of human trunk anatomical deformation model to demonstrate these variations. Methods We learned the individual differences of organ morphology from 138 healthy Chinese CT images using the statistical shape model technique, and interactively demonstrated the deformation of anatomical variances through web browser. Results The proposed system realized cross-platform network-based visualization and allowed the adjustment of anatomical deformation through the user’s interactive operation. Conclusion Our web-based system provides novel inter-subject variation information for anatomy education and medical applications.
