| Summary: | Many different reasons, such as disease, accident, crime, and war, may cause large
cranial defects. A technique for cranial implant design using patient CT data has
been developed by Dujovny and Evenhouse et al., which builds patient-specific
implants.[1] This method generates a computer polygonal model of the skull and
defect from the patient’s CT data, and a physical model of the skull with defect
is built after the model is exported to a stereolithography machine. Using this
model as a template, the implant is designed and fabricated using wax to sculpt
the missing tissue. A mold is made to cast the implant. Although this method
results in patient specific implants with near perfect fit, it is expansive and timeconsuming. |
