Visualization of neurovascular compression syndromes

Anna Skibinska

Neurovascular compression syndromes is the group of illnesses caused
by the direct vessel adherence to the cranial nerve. Currently the
best non-invasive method to detect neurovascular compression are the
MRI series of 2D images. The 3D visualization would be a significant
aid in surgery planning. The purpose of my work is the segmentation of
vessels and nerve in the region of neurovascular compression and
preparation of the images to construct a 3D model. As the nerves and
vessels are from different series, the multi-modality registration is
performed.
