Abstract

In order to obtain a personalized three-dimensional model of a patient based on CT images, the InVesalius program was initially used, which performs the initial conversion of the analyzed tissues into a specific engineering file composed of the so-called “point cloud”. This “point cloud” was imported into the Geomagic program, in which, using reverse engineering techniques, the “point cloud” was initially transformed into elementary triangular surfaces. These primary geometric structures have been edited, transformed, adapted so that, in the end, perfectly closed surfaces are obtained. It was done in this way, both for the bone structure of the head, but also for the dental structure. These complex geometries were loaded into SolidWorks, where they were originally transformed into virtual solids. These geometric structures were loaded and assembled into SolidWorks and interference solids were removed. Finally, a customized three-dimensional model was obtained on which different normal or pathological situations can be analyzed using kinematic simulations or using the finite element method.
