Featured in Collection : UN Sustainable Development Goals @ Drexel
Abstract
Computer aided design models in the form of 3-dimensional visual computer models or in the form of actual physical prototypes has aided surgeons in the reconstructive surgical procedure although in only qualitative terms. The goal of this research is to harness the full power of modern computer imaging technologies for quantitative control of craniofacial reconstructive procedures. This research has addressed: 1) a science and technology based approach to the construction of BioCAD models from patient specific anatomical images; 2) the application of such models to craniofacial surgical planning using computer aided design technology, and 3) the marriage of BioCAD models and/or prototypes with commercially available surgical image guidance systems in the operating room. This scheme presented here can be incorporated within any hospital environment.
