Personalized Cranium Defects Restoration Technique Based on Reverse Engineering

The purpose of this paper is to overcome the limitations of the traditional cranial defects restoration technique and better satisfy the aesthetic and comfort demands of different patients. An arithmetic profile curve blending technique was used based on a well-proportioned points cloud data obtained by analyzing computer tomography (CT) images of the patients. This technique uses reverse engineering technique to reconstruct a model of the defective cranium, taking all the characteristics of the protruding ...
