  • CT Image Based 3D Reconstruction for Computer Aided Orthopaedic Surgery
    CT Image Based 3D Reconstruction for Computer Aided Orthopaedic Surgery F. Blanco IDMEC-IST, Technical University of Lisbon, Av Rovisco Pais, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal P.J.S. Gonçalves Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco, Av Empresario, 6000-767 Castelo Branco, Portugal IDMEC-IST, Technical University of Lisbon, Av Rovisco Pais, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal J.M.M. Martins & J.R. Caldas Pinto IDMEC-IST, Technical University of Lisbon, Av Rovisco Pais, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal Abstract This paper presents an integrated system of 3D medical image visualization and robotics to assist orthopaedic surgery, namely by positioning a manipulator robot end-effector using a CT image based femur model. The 3D model is generated from CT images, acquired in a preoperative exam, using VTK applied to the free medical visualization software InVesalius. Add-ons were developed for communication with the robot which will be forwarded to the designated position to perform surgical tasks. A stereo vision 3D reconstruction algorithm is used to determine the coordinate transform between the virtual and the real femur by means of a fiducial marker attached to the bone. Communication between the robot and 3D model is bi-directional since visualization is updated in real time from the end-effector movement. 1. Introduction In recent years, robotic applications regarding surgical assistance have been appearing more often. Their advantages in precision, accuracy, repeatability and the ability to use specialized manipulators are granting them a place in the operating theatre. By introducing robotic technology in surgery, the goal is not to replace the surgeon but, instead, to develop new tools to assist in accurate surgical tasks.

  • Process to Convert DICOM Data to 3D Printable STL Files Mac Cameron, Application Engineer
    HOW-TO GUIDE Process to Convert DICOM Data to 3D Printable STL Files Mac Cameron, Application Engineer Anatomical models have several applications in the medical space — from patient-specific models used to plan and optimize surgical approaches, to sophisticated training simulators to educate physicians, to clinically relevant models for preclinical device testing. Developing these models can be a challenge due to the complexity and irregularity of human anatomy. One starting point is to use data readily available in the form of patient imaging studies generated by non-invasive MRI, CT, or 3D Ultrasound testing. Using data from patients, model designers can recreate the complexity of any disease, abnormal anatomy or variation that exists in the natural world. Using this approach, the first challenge is to take the data from imaging studies, isolate the anatomy of interest (referred to as segmentation) and convert it into a file format readable by CAD and 3D printing software. The final product depends on the quality of the original data. Image resolution, the use of contrast to enhance the anatomy, and sophistication of the software used to perform segmentation can all significantly affect the final product. There are a variety of professional, freeware, and open-source solutions available to perform these steps. This document describes the approach using InVesalius and Materialise Magics as an example, but the process can be replicated by many available solutions. Software used in this tutorial: • InVesalius free software to convert DICOM images to STL files. svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius • Magics for editing STL files. software.materialise.com/magics THE 3D PRINTING SOLUTIONS COMPANY™ PROCESS TO CONVERT DICOM DATA TO 3D PRINTABLE STL FILES STEP ONE: GET DICOM DATA Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting information in medical imaging.

  • Drishti, a Volume Exploration and Presentation Tool
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The Australian National University Invited Paper Drishti, A Volume Exploration and Presentation Tool Ajay Limaye1 National Computational Infrastructure National Facility, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia ABSTRACT Among several rendering techniques for volumetric data, direct volume rendering is a powerful visualization tool for a wide variety of applications. This paper describes the major features of hardware based volume exploration and presentation tool - Drishti. The word, Drishti, stands for vision or insight in Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Drishti is a cross-platform open-source volume rendering system that delivers high quality, state of the art renderings. The features in Drishti include, though not limited to, production quality rendering, volume sculpting, multi-resolution zooming, transfer function blending, profile generation, measurement tools, mesh generation, stereo/anaglyph/crosseye renderings. Ultimately, Drishti provides an intuitive and powerful interface for choreographing animations. Keywords Drishti, volume rendering, 3D printing, surface rendering 1. Introduction In the past decade with the easy availability of powerful graphics hardware via GPUs, volume rendering has positioned itself as a potent tool for interactive exploration of volumetric data sets. Over the years many volume rendering libraries and frameworks such as Voreen [1], Tuvok [2], OpenGL Volumizer [3], VolPack [4], java based library RTVR [5] and VTK [6] have been made available to the users to build applications in. Complete volume rendering systems such as VolView[7], OsiriX[8], VisageRT[9], 3DSlicer[10] are more geared towards medical data. Simian [11], a program developed mainly for research in volume rendering, was the first one to employ two dimensional transfer functions – where voxel values along with their neighbourhoods are considered in deciding colour and opacity for that volume element.
