    This study presents a novel computer technique for creating accurate 3D bony images and models from CT scans. These advanced visualizations aid in surgical planning and custom prosthesis design for complex orthopedic cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computer-Aided Design
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is crucial for complex orthopedic procedures.
    • Existing methods for generating 3D anatomical models can be time-consuming and lack precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an automated computer technique for generating 3D bony images from CT data.
    • To create accurate, patient-specific solid models for surgical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • CT scan data were processed using an automatic edge extraction algorithm to outline bone structures.
    • 3D reconstructions were generated on a high-resolution CRT screen.
    • Computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling was used to create physical solid models.

    Main Results:

    • The developed technique successfully generated 3D images and solid models of bony anatomy.
    • Solid models of the femur, hemipelvis, and femoral medullary canal showed high accuracy, with dimensions within 1-3 mm of the cadaver specimen.
    • The system demonstrated its capability to represent complex orthopedic anatomy effectively.

    Conclusions:

    • The automated 3D imaging and modeling technique provides accurate representations of bony anatomy.
    • This technology offers significant potential for improving preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning in orthopedics.
    • The ability to create precise solid models facilitates the manufacture of customized prostheses for complex cases.
