Description
Summary:Abstract Based on patient computerized tomography data, we segmented a region containing an intracranial hematoma using the threshold method and reconstructed the 3D hematoma model. To improve the efficiency and accuracy of identifying puncture points, a point-cloud search arithmetic method for modified adaptive weighted particle swarm optimization is proposed and used for optimal external axis extraction. According to the characteristics of the multitube drainage tube and the clinical needs of puncture for intracranial hematoma removal, the proposed algorithm can provide an optimal route for a drainage tube for the hematoma, the precise position of the puncture point, and preoperative planning information, which have considerable instructional significance for clinicians.
