Abstract
Focal cortical dysplasia is one of the most common cause of medically refractory epilepsy. Its imaging features include cortical architectural abnormalities and abnormal structural arrangement at the interface between the grey matter and the white matter. It is well-known that curvilinear multiplanar reformatting (CMPR), consisting in re-slicing the brain almost prependicular to the inward folding gyri from the view of anatomical planes, enhances the visualization of these abnormalities. In this paper, we present yet another interactive modeling of a patient-customized cortical envelope with which we can automatically re-slice the brain volume in a fashion similar to CMPR. Although our proposal requires fewer user interactions in comparison with the previous proposals, we show that the outcomes of re-slicing match those of the conceived CMPR.
