Abstract
In breast reconstructive surgery where patient's abdominal fat and blood vessels are transplanted to the breast, it is very important to identify the course of the blood vessels inside the abdomen. In this paper, we propose a system for projecting blood vessels extracted from computer tomography angiography (CTA) on a patient's abdominal surface to support the breast reconstructive surgery. The proposed system detects the position and orientation of a projector automatically using an image captured by a camera mounted with the projector and is able to project the exact course of the blood vessels onto an abdominal skin from an arbitrary direction. An experiment using an abdominal model fabricated from patient's CTA data with a 3D printer demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed system.
