    ¡¾Abstract¡¿ AIM: On the base of the sectional images, reconstruction and cut of body were performed using the 3D reconstruction software in computer to demonstrate the anatomic structures from different layers where the acupoint lies in. METHODS: Faultage specimens of the area of YaMen Acupoint were shot into images, which were put into the computer. The input was reconstructed with software into stereo shape or cut into planes to show the structure around the acupoint. RESULTS: The sagittal plane, coronal plane and horizontal plane of the area of YaMen Acupoint were obtained. CONCLUSION: The reconstructional images made of the entity images with the software show the clear structures, bright color and satisfactory resolving power, which provides pharmocological basis for clinical application and mechanism research. ......
