Description

This current work presents a proposal of a method for anatomical prosthesis modelling in order to generate the geometric parameters for the implants manufacturing. The concept of this proposed method is to fill the skull bone failure with the individual own skull shape by symmetric mirroring, from its non-affected opposed bone area. By using its own shape our main goal is to respect and preserve the individual morphology. A software prototype was developed as a plug-in at the Java based image processor (ImageJ) in order to generate a virtual 3D modelled anatomical prosthesis by applying all the proposed procedures. We apply the method upon a lateral skull failure as study case in order to demonstrate all the process and to discuss the evaluation of results.
