When diagnosing brain tumors, a doctor needs to know the size of the tumor and the location of the tumor in the brain. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can effectively detect the existence of cancer at early stages based on the heightened glucose metabolism of cancer cells. This research is to extract the regions of brain tumors, brain tissues, and skulls from a serial of PET brain images, and then to reconstruct a 3D model for the images based on the extracted brain tumor, brain tissue, and skull. It is helpful for a doctor to know the relative size and position of the tumor within the skull.
