This study introduces a Virtual Reality (VR) system for craniosynostosis surgery planning. The system uses tetrahedral volume meshes for 3D models, offering acceptable processing times and good rendering effects.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Aided Surgery
  • Virtual Reality

Background:

  • Craniosynostosis requires precise pre-operative planning.
  • Current planning methods may lack immersive visualization.
  • Virtual Reality (VR) offers potential for enhanced surgical simulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a VR system for pre-operative planning of craniosynostosis surgery.
  • To integrate 3D modeling and volume mesh generation within a VR environment.
  • To evaluate the system's performance and visual fidelity.

Main Methods:

  • Processing of 2D image slices to create 3D models.
  • Generation of tetrahedral volume meshes for surgical planning models.
  • Implementation of smoothing, simplification, and visibility ordering algorithms.
