Brain Model
For mechanical modeling
This
model
consists of triangular meshes corresponding to:- -
Surface
of the brain.
- -
Ventricles and circulation
canals of the cerebrospinal fluid.
- - Internal surface of the skull.
- - Tentorium cerebelli.
- - Falx cerebri.
These meshes were
joined
to create a model that could be used in mechanic modeling.
To make this model, the anatomical model of the brain (BrainWeb) developed in the Montréal Neurological Institute (MNI) was used. In this center a diffuse model of the cerebral anatomy, with which MR images are synthesized, has been created. This model was adapted to the requirements of the present study and a mesh was extracted. The model will be used in the segmentation of the brain and in the modelization of the brainshift.
