Abstract

This paper shows successive steps in extraction and 3D visualization process of both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. In the first stage a region of interest including cruciate ligaments (CL) is outlined. The automatic method of location of the CL on the T1W MR knee images is based on fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm with median modification. The next step of that process is an extraction of the cruciate ligament structure using the fuzzy connectedness approach. In the last stage a 3D structures of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament are built. These spatial structure is created through layer composition of the base images by using a linear interpolation.
