Three‐dimensional measurement for the stereoscopic models has not been well established, especially for the anatomical education purpose. The ventricles of the human brain are complex in shape, including two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle and a fourth ventricle. Each ventricle has its unique size and serves as a landmark for the anatomy orientation. Measuring of the brain's compartments has many clinical implications for neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease. In this study, the curvature angle, length and volume of each lateral ventricle has been measured using 2D and 3D measurements, and their measurements are used to compare the length, volume and the curvature angle of the left and right ventricles. The 2D and 3D measurement and the spatial orientation of the ventricles were displayed in the virtual 3D stereoscopic presentation for visualization and comparison. The 3D measurement of virtual model can be helpful for understanding the shape and angle of the ventricles, and its stereoscopic visualization may help students to better understand the relationship among these ventricles and associated structures, ease of learning curve for understanding of radiographic images. The 3D measurement provides a new approach for stereo measurement and quantitative evaluation of the 3D virtual models. This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
