 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 MRI-based three-dimensional reconstruction of the pelvic floor structure [Abstract] Objective: Three-dimensional reconstruction of female pelvic organ obturator muscles, pelvis, and levator ani muscle complex geometry, mechanical point of view from a better understanding of the mechanical characteristics of female pelvic organ and pelvic floor dysfunction in the pathogenesis of disease do preparation. Methods: The range of thickness of 0.8 mm MRI images, the use of MIMICS three-dimensional image reconstruction software for image reconstruction, the establishment of its three-dimensional geometry. Results: The obtained obturator muscles, pelvis, and levator ani muscle of the independent three-dimensional geometry structure, completely restored from the anatomical structure of their relative positions. Conclusion: The three-dimensional model obtained a true reflection of their anatomical configuration and geometry, and verified by finite element mechanical analysis of the feasibility of the model.

The current three-dimensional reconstruction of the main or the application of CT images, but the CT images muscle and other soft tissue can not be separated from the good, especially for female pelvic floor within the organization is concerned, similar to the gray value of inter-organization, more difficult to separate, the current domestic organized within the right pelvic MRI imaging experimental study also did not related reports. This study was designed to image reconstruction methods, the use of MRI images of three-dimensional reconstruction of pelvic organ, from the true geometry is completely reproduce the organizational structure
