Abstract:

Aim: Carry out a 3D vector reconstruction of the cerebellum from the anatomical sections of the "Korean Visible Human" for educational purposes.
Materials and Methods: The anatomical subject was a 33-year-old Korean man who died of leukemia. He was 164cm tall and weighed 55kgs. This man donated his body to science.
Her body was frozen and cut into several anatomical sections after an MRI and a CT scan. These anatomical sections were made using a 0.2 mm thick cryomacrotome. Thus 8,100 sections were obtained.
A segmentation by manual contouring of the different parts of the cerebellum on anatomical sections 500 to 720, was done using Winsurf version 3.5 software on a laptop PC running Windows 10 equipped with an 8 gigabyte RAM.
Results: Our 3D vector model of the cerebellum is easily manipulated using the Acrobat 3D PDF interface. The different parts of the cerebellum accessible in a menu can be displayed, hidden or made transparent, and 3D labels are available as well as educational menus for learning anatomy.
Conclusion: This reconstruction of the cerebellum constitutes a remarkable educational tool for the anatomical study of the cerebellum and can also be used as a 3D atlas for simulation purposes for training in therapeutic gestures.
