A Comprehensive Review of Techniques for Converting 2D Spine CT Images to 3D: Transforming Perspectives in Medical Imaging

Abstract

The conversion of two-dimensional (2D) medical images to three-dimensional (3D) representations has emerged as a crucial area of research, particularly in the context of spinal imaging using Computed Tomography (CT). This comprehensive review explores the recent advancements in methodologies designed to convert 2D spine CT images into accurate and clinically relevant 3D models. The review addresses challenges, various conversion techniques, applications in clinical settings, and the future potential of this transformative approach.
