Summary

This study demonstrates that 3D Slicer software and the Mcor Matrix 300 3D printer can accurately recreate orbital walls from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. The resulting paper-based models exhibit high precision, with deviations typically under 1mm, making them suitable for clinical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging and 3D Modeling
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Anatomical Reconstruction

Background:

  • Accurate anatomical models are crucial for surgical planning and education.
  • Traditional methods for creating anatomical models can be time-consuming and costly.
  • Advancements in 3D printing offer potential for precise and accessible anatomical replication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of virtual models generated using open-source 3D Slicer software.
  • To assess the precision of anatomical models printed with the Mcor Matrix 300 paper-based 3D printer.
  • To compare the accuracy of reconstructed orbital walls with the original cadaveric skull.

Main Methods:

  • Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data of a cadaveric skull were acquired.
  • Segmentation and virtual model creation were performed using 3D Slicer software.
  • Paper-based 3D models were printed using the Mcor Matrix 300 and compared to the virtual and original models using 3D optical scanning and specialized inspection software.

Main Results:

  • The mean absolute deviation between the skull and the virtual model was 0.15 ± 0.11 mm.
  • The mean absolute deviation between the virtual and printed models was 0.15 ± 0.12 mm.
  • 94% to 99% of measured absolute deviations were less than 1 mm, indicating high accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • 3D Slicer software provides accurate segmentation for virtual orbital model creation.
  • The Mcor Matrix 300 3D printer achieves accuracy comparable to other 3D printers for clinical use.
  • Paper-based 3D models are a precise and viable option for anatomical replication, with recommendations for minimizing gluing-related inaccuracies.
