Abstract

During this first year, different algorithms for volume reconstruction from tomographic slices have been tested. A tissue-mimicking phantom made with a mixture of agar and aluminium oxide was sliced at different thicknesses as per pathological standard guidelines. Phantom model was also virtually sliced and reconstructed in software. Results showed that shape-based spline interpolation method was the most precise, but generated a volume underestimation of 0.5%. Nearest neighbour interpolation produced the most accurate values.
