Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Anatomical Modeling

Background:

  • Orbital bony defects present challenges for accurate surgical reconstruction.
  • Patient-specific anatomical models are crucial for effective treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate rapid prototyping (RP) three-dimensional (3-D) image models for reconstructing orbital bony loss.
  • To assess the precision and accuracy of fabricated RP models for orbital reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Helical CT scans (1 mm slice thickness) of skulls were acquired.
  • 3-D visual models were generated using MedGraphics software.
  • RP models of the orbital region were fabricated using the 3-D data and compared to dry skulls.

Main Results:

  • Precisely reconstructed orbital RP models, including key anatomical features like the orbital rim and fissures.
  • Mean differences between models and dry skulls were minimal (0.10-0.22 mm), indicating high accuracy.
  • Certain fine structures (e.g., ethmoidal foramina) were less distinctly visualized.

Conclusions:

  • Integrity-precision orbital RP models effectively meet the needs for reconstructing orbital bony pathologies.
  • Key factors for successful fabrication include surgeon-engineer collaboration, thin CT slices, and appropriate threshold values.
  • Improved contour and function of the orbital region are anticipated with this approach.
