2. 1. On Virtual Surgical Planning in Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery

   Author : Johanna Nilsson; Andreas Thor; Risto Kontio; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Virtual surgical planning. Computer assisted planning. 3D computer model. Orbital segmentation. Craniomaxillofacial surgery planning. Haptics.; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi;

   Abstract : The complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) region makes surgery a challenging task. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has the potential to increase accuracy, reproducibility and shorten operation time. READ MORE

4. 2. Haptics with Applications to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning

   Author : Pontus Olsson; Ingrid B. Carlbom; Blake Hannaford; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical image processing; haptics; haptic rendering; haptic gripper; visuo-haptic co-location; vibrotactile feedback; surgery simulation; virtual surgery planning; cranio-maxillofacial surgery; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

   Abstract : Virtual surgery planning systems have demonstrated great potential to help surgeons achieve a better functional and aesthetic outcome for the patient, and at the same time reduce time in the operating room resulting in considerable cost savings. However, the two-dimensional tools employed in these systems today, such as a mouse and a conventional graphical display, are difficult to use for interaction with three-dimensional anatomical images.

5. 3. Interactive 3D Image Analysis for Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning and Orthopedic Applications

   Author : Johan Nysjö; Ingela Nyström; Filip Malmberg; Ida-Maria Sintorn; Jayaram K. Udupa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; medical image analysis; interactive segmentation; volume rendering; computed tomography; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

   Abstract : Modern medical imaging devices are able to generate highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) images of the skeleton. Computerized image processing and analysis methods, combined with real-time volume visualization techniques, can greatly facilitate the interpretation of such images and are increasingly used in surgical planning to aid reconstruction of the skeleton after trauma or disease.

6. 4. The Apert and Crouzon syndromes: General and dental aspects

   Author : Dimitrios Stavropoulos; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Apert syndrome; Crouzon syndrome; social life; grounded theory; clinical features; cranio-maxillofacial surgery; dental agenesis; dental agenesis patterns;

   Abstract : Background: Craniofacial malformations, as seen in Apert and Crouzon syndromes, may have an immense impact not only on function and esthetics, but also on the psychosocial well-being of the person affected. Aims: To provide insight on the social life aspects of persons with Crouzon syndrome in Sweden, during the transition from childhood to adulthood and as young adults. READ MORE

7. 5. Modeling and Visualization for Virtual Interaction with Medical Image Data

   Author : Fredrik Nysjö; Ingela Nyström; Filip Malmberg; Ingrid Carlbom; Alexandru C. Telea; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; medical image processing; volume rendering; haptic rendering; medical visualization; virtual surgery planning; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

   Abstract : Interactive systems for exploring and analysing medical three dimensional (3D) volume image data using techniques such as stereoscopic rendering and haptics can lead to new workflows for virtual surgery planning. This includes the design of patient-specific surgical guides and plates for additive manufacturing (3D printing). READ MORE
