Procedure for the Creation of Complex Free-Form Human Bones Surfaces for Manufacturing of Personalized Implants
Résumé
Development of new and improvement of existent methods for creating geometrical models of human bones is a continuous process in modern medicine. The various methods are applied for the bone remodeling and creation of anatomically correct and geometrically accurate bone models. The main goal of this research is to improve process of bone surface reconstruction, by using enchanted Method of Anatomical Features (MAF). The MAF was improved by using novel approach for creation of Region of Interests, based on the application of Uniform Mesh, NURBS and SubD. Result of this improvement is a created procedure for the creation of individual Regions of Interest (ROI), combined ROI, or custom defined ROI, defined by medical case/physician requirements. The resulting surface model(s) can be used for manufacturing of personalized implants and/or preoperative planning.
