Modeling in reconstructive facial surgery

Abstract

There is a possibility to obtain a 3-d model of the facial skull bones and a vector counter file of damaged bones based on a set of output files from an X-ray computed tomography to manufacture an individual implants. The scientific and practical interest is in the development of technology for producing 3D models of thin, small bones and complex shaped bones of the front skull parts, based on the output files of X-ray computed tomography.
