Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Biomechanical Engineering
Medical Simulation

Background:

The SEE++ software system utilizes a biomechanical eye model for simulating eye motility disorders and strabismus surgeries.
Recent advancements enabled the integration of the Bielschowsky head-tilt test (BHTT) simulation into SEE++.
This integration expands SEE++'s capability for differential-diagnostic simulations of complex conditions like superior oblique palsies.

Purpose of the Study:

To integrate and validate the simulation of the Bielschowsky head-tilt test (BHTT) within the SEE++ biomechanical eye modeling software.
To enhance the diagnostic capabilities of SEE++ for eye motility disorders by incorporating dynamic head-tilt simulations.
To assess the correlation between simulated BHTT results and actual patient-measured data.

Main Methods:

The Bielschowsky head-tilt test (BHTT) was simulated in SEE++ by allowing users to select head-tilt angles from -45 to +45 degrees.
The selected head-tilt angle is visualized on a 3D human body model and integrated into the Hess-Lancaster test calculations.
The software generates videos of a "virtual patient" undergoing head-tilting, demonstrating dynamic changes in simulated Hess-diagrams.

Main Results:

The integration of BHTT simulation significantly enhances the capabilities for simulating and analyzing eye motility disorders.
Dynamic visualization of Hess-diagrams during simulated head-tilting provides new insights into disorder progression.
Simulated results demonstrated a strong correlation with patient-measured data, validating the model's accuracy.

Conclusions:

The simulated Bielschowsky head-tilt test in SEE++ provides a valuable tool for the differential diagnosis of complex eye motility disorders.
The enhanced SEE++ software shows high accuracy when compared to real-world patient data.
Further validation through additional patient data comparisons is planned to solidify the clinical utility of the BHTT simulation.
