Abstract

The work is devoted to the application of previously developed algorithms and methods of stereo imaging in the field of maxillofacial surgery. Construction of stereo images can be useful for solving the problem of visual aids in medicine. Such problems arise when teaching students of medical universities, at doctors' advanced training courses, at councils when discussing specific plans and methods of treatment with patients, when holding international medical conferences, when solving problems of telemedicine. The work is based on the developed algorithms and software tools for representing 3D objects in stereo mode on modern autostereoscopic monitors. Test examples of three-dimensional 3D animations of the results of real CT scans of patients are constructed and presented as illustrations. A similar approach can be used for virtual volumetric 3D visualization of human organs in various fields of medicine.
