Abstract

Ultrasound medical image has disadvantage on displaying anaesthesia fluid due to its low intensity. Using contrast agent to enhance brightness of fluid area makes it possible to extract fluid area from acquired 3D image. This paper proposes an easy to implement approach to detect anaesthesia fluid. The approach will slice 3D image into arrays of 2D image, remove low intensities area from image, reconstruct fluid area to its original size, and combine 2D fluid area images into 3D visualization. The purpose of this paper is to help anaesthetist to confirm whether the operation is success and for further studying on how anaesthesia fluid spread.
