A computer system was developed to reconstruct three dimensional images of bone from analysis of computed tomography data. Images of bone can be made within minutes and rotated for viewing from any direction. An editing process allows visualization of the articular surfaces of any joint. Solid models of the bone images can be produced with an accuracy of 1 mm to 3 mm by interfacing the image data with a computer numerically controlled milling machine. This technology will provide better information to the surgeon for preoperative diagnosis and planning and for the design of customized implants.
开发了一种计算机系统，用于通过分析计算机断层扫描数据来重建骨骼的三维图像。骨骼图像可在几分钟内生成，并可从任何方向旋转查看。编辑过程可实现对任何关节关节面的可视化。通过将图像数据与计算机数控铣床连接，可制作精度为1毫米至3毫米的骨骼图像实体模型。这项技术将为外科医生提供更好的信息，用于术前诊断和规划以及定制植入物的设计。
