Detailed process for obtaining ALTP emerging points. A The whole course, including descending branch of femoral artery and ALTP, were reconstructed by software. B The emerging points were firstly identified and marked by checking every transverse slice. C At this time, the corresponding points in the coronal, sagittal plane and 3D images were automatically marked by the software. The emerging points of perforators came out from the muscle surface were also displayed in the volume rendering 3D image. ALTP: anterolateral thigh perforator, EP: emerging point.
