✦ Synopsis

This paper describes an interactive program which uses computer graphics techniques to reconstruct a three dimensional representation of thalamic anatomy from two dimensional serial sections. Figures traced on a Rand tablet, connected to a DEC-340 display, are digitized and scaled. The three dimensional display capabilities of the Adage AGT-30 are used to present the reconstructed structures. Two dimensional cross sections of an arbitrary plane may also be displayed. The program has applications in stereotaxic surgery, teaching neuroanatomy, and may be used to reconstruct other anatomic structures from serial sections.
