Abstract
Routine CT imaging has been enhanced by the availability of sophisticated computer graphics systems and nationwide computer communications. In this work, lifesize models of anatomic structures using CT data are used to fabricate individualized prostheses for patients. The technique used for custom prostheses and/or model production as applied to 450 patients is reviewed. The system combines an algorithm for three-dimensional edge detection, computer communications, and computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) with clinical imaging. The integration of technologies outlined here brings recent advances in computer aided design and manufacturing to the local community CT scanning clinic in a cost effective manner. Via computer communications, remote medical imaging centers can have their CT scanner connected on-line to CAD/CAM facilities that they could otherwise not support alone.
This work is a joint effort by a computer graphic and imaging processing company for clinical imaging and a custom prostheses manufacturer.
