Abstract
In case of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the image of an object is taken in all 3 directions. But, all the analysis and study based on MR images is carried out on 2D data, more precisely taking a single view at a time rather than considering all 3 views. Hence, the analysis is not always accurate. A solution is to create a 3D figure that will include all three views in it, so that the doctor can see any view as per his/her wish with just one click using virtual scissors. There exists software which can generate the 3D of MRI brain from all three slices separately and allows the doctor to view slices as per his/her wish with virtual scissors but it requires a lot of time. But, in this case the image has to be captured from the object in all three planes. We have developed a tool that will generate the 3D from a set of MR images in a single plane and from that we can slice out along any axis to get the view from different angle in different planes as per our wish using virtual scissors. The results show that the slices generated after reconstruction are very close to the ground truth images.
