具有较高的分辨率Objective: On the basis of displaying sectional images
reconstruction and cutting of the human body were done using a three dimensional (3D) reconstruction software in computer for revealing the anatomic structure of Fengfu (GV 16) from different layers. Methods: A formalin fixed male corpse (2 years) was used in this study. ABS fluid mixed with scarlet dye was used for arterial perfusion to display large blood vessels. After locating Fengfu (GV 16) according to the national standards of acupoints and freezing the body (-30 ℃)
a hole was made along GV 16 to the routinely used depth using a high speed bit
and then filled with red plasticine for displaying different cross sections of the acupoint. The frozen sample was then put into a wooden box which was filled with water to be frozen again
and was cut into less than 2 mm thick sections with a high speed steel plane machine
photographed and videotaped. The collected images were fed into a computer and reconstructed into facade and dorsal pictures with 3D reconstruction software
on the basis of which
sagittal
coronal and horizontal plane cutting of the body were carried out. Results: 200 pieces of reconstructed pictures of Fengfu (GV 16) were obtained. From the reconstructed sagittal plane and coronal plane images of GV 16 the blood vessels
muscular tissues
etc. could be seen distinctly. Additionally
other structures were also shown clearly. For example
the sagittal pictures of Fengfu (GV 16) distinctly displayed the appearance of the brain
cerebellum and the spinal cord. On the coronal plane
the images of GV 16 showed the fascia and muscle tissues. From the horizontal plane images
the appearance of the bottom of the cerebellar hemisphere
medulla oblongata
the head semispinal muscle
etc could be seen. Images of the oblique plane
the head splenius muscle (on one side of GV 16) and the head semispinal muscle (deep layer) could be seen. Conclusion: The reconstructed pictures of Fengfu (GV 16) from the entity images with the software show the clear structures
which has the bright color and satisfactory resolving power.
