Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining the position of a deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode which finds the position of the DBS electrode with respect to a deep brain target region, by using a first volume data set containing information on the deep brain target region and a second volume data set containing information on the DBS electrode implanted toward the deep brain target region, and which includes: a first step of generating a subvolume of the deep brain target region from the first volume data set, and also generating a subvolume of the DBS electrode from the second volume data set; and a second step of overlapping and displaying the subvolume of the deep brain target region and the subvolume of the DBS electrode.

Abstract: A method for modeling an internal object of a human body includes the step of obtaining the original three-dimensional volume data of the internal object of a human body utilizing an ultrasonic imaging device. Thereafter, a desired area of the obtained original three-dimensional volume data is selected and the image quality of the desired area is enhanced. The desired area of the three-dimensional volume data is transformed into a fair shape data. The fair shape data is decimated while a modeled shape is maintained. Finally, a three-dimensional model is shaped using decimated shape data.
