CAS
Computer Assisted Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery
Description
This is a joint project with the department of Numerical Analysis and Modelling.
Due to the expanding application of computer technology in medicine new methods are evolving for medical diagnosis, education and training, as well as of surgical treatment planning, assistance and assessment. The planning of complex surgical procedures necessitates highly reliable computerized models of the human anatomy. The ultimate goal is to accurately simulate surgical interventions on virtual patient models in view of better preparation, improved surgical outcome, and shorter operation time. Therefore Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) is likely to become a new paradigm of health care. Further information is available in the detailed project description.
