The Virtual Pediatric Airways Workbench (VPAW) is a patient-centered surgical planning software system targeted to pediatric patients with airway obstruction. VPAW provides an intuitive surgical planning interface for clinicians and supports quantitative analysis regarding prospective surgeries to aid clinicians deciding on potential surgical intervention. VPAW enables a full surgical planning pipeline, including importing DICOM images, segmenting the airway, interactive 3D editing of airway geometries to express potential surgical treatment planning options, and creating input files for offline geometric analysis and computational fluid dynamics simulations for evaluation of surgical outcomes. In this paper, we describe the VPAW system and its use in one case study with a clinician to successfully describe an intended surgery outcome.
虚拟儿科气道工作台（VPAW）是一个以患者为中心的手术规划软件系统，针对患有气道阻塞的儿科患者。VPAW为临床医生提供了直观的手术规划界面，并支持对前瞻性手术进行定量分析，以帮助临床医生决定潜在的手术干预措施。VPAW实现了完整的手术规划流程，包括导入DICOM图像、分割气道、对气道几何形状进行交互式3D编辑以表达潜在的手术治疗规划方案，以及创建用于离线几何分析和计算流体动力学模拟的输入文件，以评估手术结果。在本文中，我们描述了VPAW系统及其在与一名临床医生的案例研究中的应用，以成功描述预期的手术结果。
