Question 1

Overview

Accepted Answer

High quality segmentation of CT scan data is the essential foundation upon which patient-specific reconstructive implants are designed.
From data import, through to thresholding and anatomy isolation, segmentation plays an essential role as part of a robust design workflow.
​
In this video, we take a closer look at these thresholding options and the effects they have on segmenting anatomy, including:
 
• Units and tissue density
• Small and thin bones such as the orbital bones
• Resolution
• Boolean Operations
• Isolating anatomical structures
