Abstract [en]
User-friendly virtual surgery planning(VSP) systems for reconstructive surgery, such as cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery, that can be used by the surgeons themselves without help of a technician have the potential to shorten the pre-operative planning from days to hours. An important part of such systems is the design of surgical guides and plates for osteosynthesis. We describe a method for generating surgical guide and plate models from computed tomography (CT) images, using signed distance fields and constructive solidgeometry (CSG). We implement the method as an extension to our Haptics-Assisted Surgery Plan-ning (HASP) system that enables a user to quickly design guide and plate models with stereo graphics and haptic feedback. We find that surgical guide and plate models can be efficiently generated from segmented CT images with our method. We also find that an anti-aliased distance transform can improve the accuracy and precision of the modelingin this application.
