Ph.D. - Medical Image Registration and Surgery Simulation
Cranio-facial surgery Simulation
|
This work concentrated on developing surgery simulation tools to predict the
outcome of cranio-facial surgery. E.g.. what happens to the patients silhouette
when the jaw is moved - how much is optimal.
This involves modeling the elastic movement of the soft tissue in the patient
using 3D volumetric deformable models and physical models of the behavior of
human tissue.
Below is shown some of my initial experiments with active cubes. Later, in
his M.Sc. thesis, Bo Rasmussen worked under my supervision to implement a
more comprehensive simulation system.

Active cube before and after modeling soft
deformation. Only the transparent part of the model is deformed.
