Abstract
A method and system for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for head deformities in infants is described. The system operates on three dimensional digital captured data of a head to automatically provide trim line information for each cranial remodeling device.
Claims12
A method for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for cranial shape abnormalities comprising:
- capturing a three dimensional digital image of a head to produce first digital data;
- and
- fabricating a cranial remodeling device for said head;
- and
- utilizing a neural network operating on said first digital data to automatically provide trim line information for said cranial remodeling device.
A system for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for cranial shape abnormalities comprising:
- a digitizer operable to capture a digital image of a patient's head to produce first digital data;
- a computer;
- and
- one or more trainable computer programs operable on said computer and responsive to said first digital data to automatically provide cranial remodeling device information for use in fabricating a cranial remodeling device for said deformed head, said information comprising trim line information.
A method for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for cranial shape abnormalities comprising:
- capturing a three dimensional digital image of a head to produce first digital data;
- and
- utilizing a plurality of neural networks responsive to said first digital data to automatically select a cranial remodeling device type, to automatically select a cranial remodeling device style and to automatically select cranial remodeling features for use in fabricating a cranial remodeling device for said head.
A method for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for cranial shape abnormalities comprising:
- capturing a three dimensional digital image of a head to produce first digital data;
- fabricating a cranial remodeling device for said head;
- and
- utilizing a plurality of neural networks operating on said fast digital data to automatically select a cranial remodeling device type, a cranial remodeling device style and cranial remodeling device features.
