Die Entwicklung eines einfach zu bedienenden Viewers, welcher eine Positionierung des B-FMT im Felsenbeinmodell ermöglicht und hier auf individuelle potenzielle anatomische Konflikte hinweist sowie Lösungsmöglichkeiten anbietet, kann ein hilfreiches Werkzeug zur präoperativen Positionierung sein. Ziel der Arbeit war die Definition von Anforderungen und die Anfertigung eines Prototyps eines Vibrant-Bonebridge-Viewers. Auf der Basis einer ZIBAmira-Software-Version und der Inklusion eines B-FMT-Modells unter Erstellung eines Felsenbeinmodells, welches die intuitive Beurteilung von Konflikten ermöglicht, erfolgte die Erstellung des Prototyps eines Vibrant-Bonebridge-Viewers.Ergebnisse. Die Segmentierungszeit der individuellen DICOM-Daten („digital imaging and communications in medicine“) beträgt etwa 5 min. Eine Positionierung im individuellen 3-D-Felsenbeinmodell ermöglicht die quantitative und qualitative Beurteilung von Konflikten (Sinus sigmoideus, mittlere Schädelgrube) und das Aufsuchen einer bevorzugten Position. Das Anheben des B-FMT mittels virtueller Unterlegscheiben kann simuliert werden. Der erstellte Vibrant-Bonebridge-Viewer ermöglicht verlässlich eine Simulation der B-FMT-Positionierung. Die klinische Anwendbarkeit muss evaluiert werden.

A radiological based preoperative planning of the surgical procedure decreases the surgical time and minimizes the risk of complications. We developed a software tool, which allows a catch up of foreign DICOM data based CT temporal bone scans. The individual CT scan is transmitted into a 3D reconstructed pattern of the temporal bone. In this 3D reconstruction the individually favored position of the B- FMT should be found. The software allows a determination of a safe B-FMT position by identifying the individual relation of middle fossa, jugular bulb and external auditory canal. Skull thickness and screw length are contained parameters for the surgical planning. An easy to handle software tool allows a radiologically data based safe and fast surgical positioning of the B-FMT.

A1 - Schulz, Matthias A1 - Zachow, Stefan A1 - Haberl, Hannes T1 - Frame-based cranial reconstruction JF - Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics N2 - The authors report on the first experiences with the prototype of a surgical tool for cranial remodeling. The device enables the surgeon to transfer statistical information, represented in a model, into the disfigured bone. The model is derived from a currently evolving databank of normal head shapes. Ultimately, the databank will provide a set of standard models covering the statistical range of normal head shapes, thus providing the required template for any standard remodeling procedure as well as customized models for intended overcorrection. To date, this technique has been used in the surgical treatment of 14 infants (age range 6-12 months) with craniosynostosis. In all 14 cases, the designated esthetic result, embodied by the selected model, has been achieved, without morbidity or mortality. Frame-based reconstruction provides the required tools to precisely realize the surgical reproduction of the model shape. It enables the establishment of a self-referring system, feeding back postoperative growth patterns, recorded by 3D follow-up, into the model design.

Patch-MI 2016 N2 - Deformable model-based approaches to 3D image segmentation have been shown to be highly successful. Such methodology requires an appearance model that drives the deformation of a geometric model to the image data. Appearance models are usually either created heuristically or through supervised learning. Heuristic methods have been shown to work effectively in many applications but are hard to transfer from one application (imaging modality/anatomical structure) to another. On the contrary, supervised learning approaches can learn patterns from a collection of annotated training data. In this work, we show that the supervised joint dictionary learning technique is capable of overcoming the traditional drawbacks of the heuristic approaches. Our evaluation based on two different applications (liver/CT and knee/MR) reveals that our approach generates appearance models, which can be used effectively and efficiently in a deformable model-based segmentation framework.

One explanation may be a shape mismatch between pre and post-operative distal femurs. The purpose of this study was to investigate a method to match a statistical shape model (SSM) to intra-operatively acquired point cloud data from a surgical navigation system, and to validate it against the pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from the same patients. Methods: A total of 10 patients who underwent navigated total knee arthroplasty also had an MRI scan less than 2 months pre-operatively. The standard surgical protocol was followed which included partial digitization of the distal femur. Two different methods were employed to fit the SSM to the digitized point cloud data, based on (1) Iterative Closest Points (ICP) and (2) Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). The available MRI data were manually segmented and the reconstructed three-dimensional surfaces used as ground truth against which the statistical shape model fit was compared. Results: For both approaches, the difference between the statistical shape model-generated femur and the surface generated from MRI segmentation averaged less than 1.7 mm, with maximum errors occurring in less clinically important areas. Conclusion: The results demonstrated good correspondence with the distal femoral morphology even in cases of sparse data sets. Application of this technique will allow for measurement of mismatch between pre and post-operative femurs retrospectively on any case done using the surgical navigation system and could be integrated into the surgical navigation unit to provide real-time feedback.

In this chapter we are going to explain the basic methodology of SSMs and present a variety of examples, where SSMs have been successfully applied.
