Abstract

The objective of this paper is to develop semi-automatic guided software for performing cosmetic surgery and fabrication ofhead phantom by the process of simulating three dimensional (3D) visualization techniques for improving therapeutic treatmentwith computer vision and innovative technologies. The 3D operation planning is one of the main applications in reconstructiveand crania-facial surgeries. The current trend in surgical planning is with respect to tissue changes based on frontal analysis of2D information sources such as photographs, X-rays, and CT/MRI etc. The proposed slicing technique will be suitable for thedisplay of complex structures of the facial skeleton and can also be used to develop skull by 3D printing technology. Theproposed method helps in developing of 3D reconstruction method with an aid of computer software for developing a 3D modelfrom 2D CT/MRI scan with cross sections of a patient. A basic 3D model of outer face is created using algorithm of icon-surfacereconstruction which defines proper icon-value or intensity value. This method can be used to construct different regions basedon user defined value. Each region is reconstructed in 3D using different colours for identification. The development of 3Dmodel based iso-surface extraction and reconstruction will provide better surgical results with fewer procedures, and alsoimprove the functionalities to a greater extent.
