A 3D Clipping Simulation Based on Virtual Surgery

On the basis of classic surface reconstruction algorithms, a surface reconstruction based 3D clipping simulation is proposed. The algorithm employs implicit function to represent the clipping object and utilizes clipping object construction tree to construct complex clipping object. The results show that the method realizes 3D medical clipping simulation accurately. Then, we designed and implemented the 3D Orthopedic Operation Simulation Platform, which involves 3D clipping simulation, 3D modeling, 3D marking and measuring. Clinical case demonstrated the great value of the platform in medical applications.
