“…In medical applications, the geometrical models were mainly selected due to their capability of giving an exact reproduction of the bone surface. Popular models are triangle meshes [8], [18] or octrees [14]. Martin et al [12] use B-spline surfaces to model a femur's cortical and trabecular part.…”

Model-based reconstruction of human bones for surgical purposes is an upcoming field of research in informatics and kinematics. Tools for planning surgeries and real-time support require appropriate mathematical models for rendering, interacting and reconfiguration. It is our conviction that superquadrics offer this powerful mathematical modeling capability. Image-based data from MRI and X-ray examinations have to be extracted and gathered to 3Dpoint sets, which are afterwards fitted by superquadric-based models. The fitting process is complex and time-consuming. To solve this problem and to provide real-time simulation for surgical support, it is necessary to apply the knowledge of the expert user. This paper presents the concept and a prototypical implementation of an interactive system that involves the user in the fitting process to accelerate the calculation and enhance the resulting model.

“…Melerit Medical [10] developed TraumaVision TM that simulates several orthopedic procedures; femoral nailing, hansson hook pin and hansson twin hook. Volumetric data [4][5][6][7][8] or hybrid data [9], which using surface and volume data, are employed dominantly in bone surgery simulators because volume rendering can include information such as density and rigidity for each voxel. Also, volume rendering allows the change of drill direction during drilling.…”

This paper presents a surface-data-based haptic rendering method for simulation of surgery of closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF). Volumetric data is often employed in the simulation of bone surgery because the volume rendering can easily handle information such as density and rigidity of each voxel. However, it is difficult to implement real-time graphics and haptic rendering because of the large computational workload. Therefore, we propose a surface-data-based haptic rendering method for real-time rendering. Mechanical properties and graphics of the inner part of the bone should be modeled in addition to the surface data to simulate drilling into the bone. An algorithm is developed to construct the surface of the drilled hole. This method allows the user of the simulation to feel the varying forces according to the drilled depth.

This paper describes image processing, geometric modeling and data management techniques for the development of a virtual bone surgery system. Image segmentation is used to divide CT scan data into different segments representing various regions of the bone. A region-growing algorithm is used to extract cortical bone and trabecular bone structures systematically and efficiently. Volume modeling is then used to represent the bone geometry based on the CT scan data. Material removal simulation is achieved by continuously performing Boolean subtraction of the surgical tool model from the bone model. A quadtree-based adaptive subdivision technique is developed to handle the large set of data in order to achieve the real-time simulation and visualization required for virtual bone surgery. A Marching Cubes algorithm is used to generate polygonal faces from the volumetric data. Rendering of the generated polygons is performed with the publicly available VTK (Visualization Tool Kit) software. Implementation of the developed techniques consists of developing a virtual bone-drilling software program, which allows the user to manipulate a virtual drill to make holes with the use of a PHANToM device on a bone model derived from real CT scan data.
