For the graduation thesis project of my master’s study, I built a 3D reconstruction of a horse abdomen, and in addition a version with Nephrosplenic Entrapment(NSE), a kind of equine colic. 'Colic' in horses mean all abdomen pain in horses and is often gastrointestinal (relating to the stomach and the intestines). NSE is a condition in which the left large colon gets entrapped in the nephrosplenic space, the space between the left kidney and the spleen. ZBrush was used as the software for the 3D modeling process, and Marmoset Toolbag4 was used as the rendering program. This 3D reconstruction includes the skeletal system (excluding limbs), digestive system, kidneys, spleen, heart, aorta, vena cava, and vessels and ligaments concerning NSE.
