Computer-assisted virtual planning and surgical template fabrication for frontoorbital advancement

Computer-assisted surgical planning for cerebrovascular neurosurgery.

OBJECTIVE We used three-dimensional reconstructed magnetic resonance images for planning the operations of 16 patients with various cerebrovascular diseases. We studied the cases of these patients to determine the advantages and current limitations of our computer-assisted surgical planning system as it applies to the treatment of vascular lesions. METHODS Magnetic resonance angiograms or thi...

Evaluation of Computer-assisted Virtual Treatment Planning and Template- Guided Surgery in Dental Implant Treatment

One of the newly introduced concepts in implant dentistry is computer-guided surgery. The development of 3D implant planning software and imaging technology provide clinicians with 3D information of patients’ bony structures. Furthermore, the combination of such image technologies and the CAD/CAM technology allows fabrication of surgical templates and implant supported prostheses preoperatively...

Application of Virtual Surgical Planning with Computer Assisted Design and Manufacturing Technology to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery

Computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology today is the standard in manufacturing industry. The application of the CAD/CAM technology, together with the emerging 3D medical images based virtual surgical planning (VSP) technology, to craniomaxillofacial reconstruction has been gaining increasing attention to reconstructive surgeons. This article illustrates the components, syst...

An optimal motion planning method for computer-assisted surgical training

This paper focuses on the development and validation of an optimal motion planning method for computer-assisted surgical training. The context of this work is the development of new-generation systems that combine artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques in order to adjust the learning process to specific needs of a trainee, while preventing a trainee from the memorization of part...
