Abstract
This paper presents a method to model anatomical parts of the body. As we focus on the modelling of vein and artery surfaces, we have chosen to parametrize a cylindrical topology surface. The method is based on the approximation of surface with bicubic B-splines. The data used for the surface approximation are collected from 2.5D echography (ultrasonographic images located in 3D space). The set up for data collection is described in the paper. Our modelling gives realistic results. Adding the modelling of deformations induced by the pressure exerted by the echographic probe over the patient, we intend to use this method to carry out an echographic simulator.
