MIBlob: a tool for medical visualization and modelling using sketches

The MIBlob application is designed to support the visualization of medical images (X-rays, MRI). The aim of the system is to provide a simple interface to allow manual 3D reconstruction from the 2D data presented in the image in order to help users to explain concepts to clinical staff such as medical students or even other doctor colleagues. Our system aims not to be an automatic tool but rather provides interactive assistance. Modelling tasks are accessible through a calligraphic interface without requiring specific design or modeler skills since shapes are inflated from freehand contours.
