Abstract (EN): The urinary bladder can be visualized from different views by imaging facilities such as Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Multi-view imaging can present more details of this pelvic organ and contribute to a more reliable reconstruction. Based on the information from multi-view planes, a level set based algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the 3D shape of the bladder using the cross-sectional boundaries. The algorithm provides a flexible solution to handle the discrepancies from different view planes and can obtain an accurate bladder surface with more geometric details.
