• Title: An Online Platform for Automatic Skull Defect Restoration and Cranial Implant Design
• Authors: Jianning Li, Antonio Pepe, Christina Gsaxner, Jan Egger
• Abstract summary: The system automatically restores the missing part of a skull and generates the desired implant. The generated implant can be downloaded in the STereoLithography (.stl) format directly via the browser interface of the system. The implant model can then be sent to a 3D printer for in loco implant manufacturing.

• Abstract: We introduce a fully automatic system for cranial implant design, a common task in cranioplasty operations. The system is currently integrated in Studierfenster (http://studierfenster.tugraz.at/), an online, cloud-based medical image processing platform for medical imaging applications. Enhanced by deep learning algorithms, the system automatically restores the missing part of a skull (i.e., skull shape completion) and generates the desired implant by subtracting the defective skull from the completed skull. The generated implant can be downloaded in the STereoLithography (.stl) format directly via the browser interface of the system. The implant model can then be sent to a 3D printer for in loco implant manufacturing. Furthermore, thanks to the standard format, the user can thereafter load the model into another application for post-processing whenever necessary. Such an automatic cranial implant design system can be integrated into the clinical practice to improve the current routine for surgeries related to skull defect repair (e.g., cranioplasty). Our system, although currently intended for educational and research use only, can be seen as an application of additive manufacturing for fast, patient-specific implant design.

  Surgery digitalization is the process of creating a virtual replica of real-world surgery. We present a proof of concept (PoC) for surgery digitalization that is applied to an ex-vivo spinal surgery. We employ five RGB-D cameras for dynamic 3D reconstruction of the surgeon, a high-end camera for 3D reconstruction of the anatomy, an infrared stereo camera for surgical instrument tracking, and a laser scanner for 3D reconstruction of the operating room and data fusion.

• A Semi-automatic Cranial Implant Design Tool Based on Rigid ICP Template Alignment and Voxel Space Reconstruction [2.0793077626669327]
  cranioplasty is the craft of neurocranial repair using cranial implants. Despite the improvements made in recent years, the design of a patient-specific implant (PSI) is among the most complex, expensive, and least automated tasks in cranioplasty. We create a prototype application with a graphical user interface (UI) specifically tailored for semi-automatic implant generation. A general outline of the proposed implant generation process involves setting an area of interest, aligning the templates, and then creating the implant in voxel space.

  The goal of this work is to propose a robust, fast, and fully automatic method for personalized cranial defect reconstruction and implant modeling. We propose a two-step deep learning-based method using a modified U-Net architecture to perform the defect reconstruction. We then propose a dedicated iterative procedure to improve the implant geometry, followed by automatic generation of models ready for 3-D printing.
