Abstract: 
The growth in AI technology has led to radical enhancements in medical imaging, particularly in depicting organs in 3D images from 2D MRI and CT scans. High-quality 3D reconstructions are critical, especially in pre-operational planning, in which pictorial representations provide surgeons with better resolution to work with during surgery. Regarding 3D modeling, classic approaches to segmentation are based on manual delineation, which is known to be a tedious task, error-prone, and highly time-consuming. This study proposes two methods to enhance the current clinical methods for reconstructing 3D models from 2D slices by creating AI-supported methods that can perform this automatically and effectively.
This research applies CNNs and GANs to the image processing and analysis of medical imaging data. Collectively, the data were gathered from different MRI and CT scans, which were then employed to train and test the models. Other quantitative measures included the Dice coefficient and Intersection over Union (IoU), based on which the accuracy of reconstructions was determined. The results also prove that AI-based models are faster, more accurate, and more effective than traditional models. The paper also covers the issues of data privacy, computational complexity, and potential introduction in clinical practice. However, future research must consider the enhancement of the models, management of other data classes, and the realization of their use in real-time operating theaters.
