A 3D visualization tool for the design and customization of spinal braces
D Fortin, F Cheriet, M Beauséjour, P Debanné… - … Medical Imaging and …, 2007 - Elsevier
A new tool was developed and validated on an X-ray dummy to allow personalized design
and adjustment of spinal braces. The 3D visualization of the external trunk surface
registered with the underlying 3D bone structures permits the clinicians to select pressure
areas on the trunk surface for proper positioning of correcting pads inside the brace
according to the patient's specific trunk deformities. After brace fabrication, the clinicians can
evaluate the actual 3D patient–brace interface pressure distribution visualized …
