3D reconstruction of pelvic floor for numerical simulation purpose

Female pelvic floor disorders (stress urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse) affect approximately 60% of woman over 60 years old [1]. The real geometry and architecture of female pelvic floor and connective tissues are complex and difficult to visualize from two-dimensional (2D) images. To facilitate the understanding of pelvic floor geometry, in this work 3D models were building. A 3D helpful model of pelvic floor could aid the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of this complex part of the female body. These models were constructed from 2D medical images, obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of this study was to help the identification of pelvic…
