Abstract Numerous hepatic function, disease and pharmacological experiments are performed on rat livers. Many of these experiments rely on an accurate understanding of the rat liver anatomy. In this short paper, we present an in silico rat liver atlas which is constructed from the micro-CT images of explanted rat livers. The atlas consists of the parametric mesh for four liver lobes and a paracaval portion. 1D and 3D cubic Hermite mesh are used to represent the rat liver vessels and lobes, respectively. We discuss potential applications that can be performed from the in silico atlas.

一个 in silico 大鼠肝脏图谱

摘要 对大鼠肝脏进行了大量肝功能、疾病和药理实验。许多这些实验依赖于对大鼠肝脏解剖结构的准确理解。在这篇简短的论文中，我们展示了一个由外植大鼠肝脏的显微 CT 图像构建的计算机模拟大鼠肝脏图谱。图集由四个肝叶和一个腔旁部分的参数化网格组成。1D 和 3D 立方 Hermite 网格分别用于表示大鼠肝脏血管和叶。我们讨论了可以从计算机地图集执行的潜在应用。
