Abstract

We selected cervical cross section image from CVH-F1 (Chinese Visible Human – Female, No.1) database. After labeling the relative structures, we made 3D reconstruction of brachial plexus and surrounding tissue by computer reconstruction technique. In cervical cross section image, tissues like vertebrae, disc, spinal dura mater, spinal cord, vertebral artery, nerve root and muscles can be recognized, which ensure the ideal effect of 3-D reconstruction. In conclusion, we can make 3-D reconstruction of brachial plexus through computer technique which may serve for anatomical study of brachial plexus compression. After that we made vertical section on the nerve and calculate the ratio between area of nerve and its gap. In result, it is suggested that the nerve passage for ‘root’ and ‘strand’ is comparatively narrower.
