Popis: Identifying and generating the Regions Of Interest (ROIs) in a set of images is an important step towards planning treatment in neurosurgery. Existing Neuronavigation software require manual marking of a specific ROI in consecutive slices of the DICOM images to generate the solid model of a ROI. The volumetric shape and position of the ROI serves as a reference to the surgical tool during neuronavigation. The paper presents an algorithm for the semiautonomous generation of ROI from the slices of images using a single click. This paper is aimed at isolating the ROI in a CT/MRI scan, along with eliminating all non-ROI regions. This reconstruction in 3D along with the real-time 3D superposition of the surgical tool provides for a highly focused visualization of the surgical problem, along with significantly improved rendering performance.
