It is mainly used to fix the patient's head to ensure that the head remains stable during the operation and to avoid the accuracy and safety of the operation affected by the movement of the head. This device usually consists of a head frame, a neck clamp and a bracket. It can be adjusted to adapt to different head shapes and surgical needs, reduce the operation time and the risk of complications, and improve the surgical effect and the patient's treatment experience. In clinical applications, the cranial and brain surgical fixator can effectively reduce the workload of medical care, is simple to bandage, easy to use, and effectively protects the incision and brain tissue under the bone window, improving clinical safety.
[0003] The three-dimensional parametric design of brain position fixation devices is an advanced design method specifically used to develop and optimize head and neck fixation devices used in neurosurgery. Traditional three-dimensional parametric design methods for brain position fixation devices often have the following problems: the fixation devices often ignore the patient's comfort in order to ensure the firmness of the fixation, causing the patient to be in an uncomfortable state for a long time during surgery or treatment, which may affect the treatment effect and even cause the patient to move during treatment. Traditional fixation devices are usually designed based on standard models, which are difficult to effectively adjust according to different clinical application scenarios and individual differences of patients, resulting in insufficient adaptability in actual use. Summary of the invention

[0005] To achieve the above object, a three-dimensional parametric design method for a cranial and brain position fixation device comprises the following steps:

[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The above is a schematic flow chart of the steps of a three-dimensional parametric design method for a cranial and brain position fixing device of the present invention. In this example, the three-dimensional parametric design method for a cranial and brain position fixing device includes the following steps:
[0028] Step S1: obtaining design requirement data of the cranial and cerebral position fixation device, including patient body shape data, position requirement data, comfort data, and fixation accuracy data; collecting clinical application information and usage scenario information to obtain preliminary design parameters; using CAD software to construct a preliminary three-dimensional model of the cranial and cerebral position fixation device according to the design requirement data and preliminary design parameters;
[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, three-dimensional data of the patient's head is obtained through medical imaging equipment (such as CT and MRI). Detailed body shape information of the patient is collected in combination with body shape features, such as head size and skull shape. According to the needs of surgery or treatment, the precise position requirements of the patient's head are determined. These data may include head tilt angle, rotation angle, etc. to ensure the accuracy of surgery or treatment. Comfort requirements are defined in combination with patient feedback and ergonomic principles. Including the contact pressure of the head in the fixture, material selection of the fixture, etc., to ensure comfort during long-term use. According to clinical requirements, the accuracy standard of the fixture is determined, which usually involves the range of head movement allowed during operation, and the response speed to different body positions. Through communication with clinicians and medical technicians, the use scenario information of the fixture in different surgical or treatment environments is collected; for example, different positioning requirements of the device on the operating table and in the radiotherapy room. Preliminary design parameters are formulated by integrating the patient's personalized data and clinical application information. These parameters are input using CAD software to create a preliminary three-dimensional model, which will contain the approximate shape and key dimensions of the fixture.
[0030] Step S2: constructing a basic structural model of the device according to the preliminary three-dimensional model, including a supporting frame model, a fixed component model, and an adjustment mechanism model; generating an adjustable three-dimensional parametric model according to the basic structural model by a parametric design method;
[0031] The embodiment of the present invention designs the basic structure of the fixing device to provide overall support. It is usually made of strong materials, and the balance between strength and weight should be considered during design. Specific fixing components, such as chin support, headband, etc., are designed according to the patient's body shape data. These components are in direct contact with the patient's head, and their connection method with the support frame should be considered during design. Adjustment mechanisms that can achieve fine-tuning of the patient's head, such as rotating joints, sliding guides, etc., are designed. These mechanisms allow necessary adjustments to be made during surgery or treatment. Through parametric design tools, the basic structure model is converted into a three-dimensional parametric model. This model allows designers to make real-time adjustments and optimizations based on different input parameters (such as body shape data, fixation accuracy). This process includes setting key parameters and variables for optimization and adjustment in subsequent steps.
[0032] Step S3: performing mechanical property analysis on the three-dimensional parameterized model to obtain mechanical property analysis data; performing structural design optimization processing on the three-dimensional parameterized model according to the mechanical property analysis data, and adjusting the structural parameters in real time according to a preset fixed accuracy to obtain structural parameter adjustment data;
[0033] The embodiment of the present invention uses mechanical analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate and test the three-dimensional parametric model, focusing on analyzing the deformation, stress distribution, etc. of the fixation device under stress. Ensure that the device can remain stable and accurate during the patient's position adjustment and fixation process. According to the results of the mechanical performance analysis, adjust and optimize the structural design of the three-dimensional model; for example, enhance the strength of key parts, adjust the thickness of the support frame, improve the geometry of the fixed parts, etc. Ensure the reliability and durability of the device in actual use. According to the preset fixing accuracy requirements, the structural parameters of the three-dimensional model are adjusted in real time; by modifying the design variables of the parametric model, such as angle, length, material thickness, etc., ensure that the final model can achieve the required fixing accuracy.
[0034] Step S4: acquiring device usage data in different clinical application scenarios; performing adaptability evaluation on the device usage data, thereby obtaining adaptability evaluation data; performing adaptive correction on the structural parameter adjustment data according to the adaptability evaluation data, and obtaining the optimal design solution through multi-objective optimization technology, thereby obtaining optimal design window data;
[0035] The embodiments of the present invention test the preliminarily designed fixation device in different clinical application scenarios and collect usage data; these data include the performance of the device in actual operation, such as fixation effect, ease of adjustment, patient comfort, etc. Analyze the device usage data, evaluate its adaptability in different scenarios, confirm whether the device can work effectively in various clinical environments and meet the requirements of different surgeries or treatments. According to the adaptability evaluation results, the structural parameters of the three-dimensional parametric model are modified; use multi-objective optimization technology to find the optimal design parameter combination under the premise of considering various clinical needs and design constraints. Comprehensively analyze and optimize the results to generate an optimal design window. The parameter combination within this window can provide the best fixation effect, comfort and adaptability.
[0036] Step S5: using 3D printing technology to produce a device prototype according to the optimized design window data, and conducting clinical simulation tests to collect feedback information, thereby obtaining prototype device feedback data; performing function and adaptability evaluation on the prototype according to the prototype device feedback data, thereby obtaining prototype evaluation data;
[0037] The embodiment of the present invention uses 3D printing technology to manufacture a prototype of the fixation device according to the parameters in the optimal design window; 3D printing technology can quickly and accurately generate physical models, which is convenient for subsequent clinical testing and evaluation. The 3D printed prototype is simulated and tested in a clinical environment. The actual performance of the prototype is tested by simulating surgery or treatment scenarios, and feedback from patients and doctors is collected. Based on the results of the simulation test, the prototype is evaluated for function and adaptability, including the evaluation of the performance in terms of fixation accuracy, ease of adjustment, and patient comfort.
[0038] Step S6: updating the design parameters and constraints of the three-dimensional parametric model according to the prototype evaluation data, thereby obtaining a final parametric model; converting the final parametric model into a production drawing, thereby obtaining model production drawing data.
[0039] According to the prototype evaluation results, the embodiment of the present invention makes final corrections and improvements to the three-dimensional parametric model, adjusts the design parameters and model constraints, and ensures that all functions and requirements are met. The final corrected three-dimensional parametric model is converted into production drawings, which contain all the detailed designs of the fixture and can be directly used for manufacturing. The final generated production drawing data will be used for mass production to ensure that each manufactured fixture meets the design requirements and can provide reliable performance in clinical practice.

[0042] Step S11: using 3D scanning technology to obtain accurate three-dimensional information of the patient's head and neck, thereby obtaining the patient's three-dimensional scanning data; performing image segmentation on the patient's three-dimensional scanning data, extracting key anatomical feature points, and establishing a personalized digital model of the patient, thereby obtaining the patient's body shape data;
[0043] Step S12: collecting information on the type of surgery, duration of surgery, and surgical position, and analyzing the requirements of different types of surgery for cranial and brain position fixation devices, thereby generating position requirement data;
[0044] Step S13: establishing a comfort evaluation model according to a preset comfort evaluation table and collecting the patient's physiological indicators in real time through an intelligent sensor system, thereby obtaining comfort data;
[0045] Step S14: collecting the interaction requirements between the surgical instrument and the fixation device and the accuracy requirements of different types of neurosurgery, so as to obtain fixation accuracy data;
[0046] Step S15: integrating the patient's body shape data, body position requirement data, comfort data, and fixation accuracy data, thereby obtaining design requirement data for the cranial body position fixation device;
[0047] Step S16: Collect clinical application information and usage scenario information to obtain preliminary design parameters;
[0048] Step S17: Using CAD software to construct a preliminary three-dimensional model of the cranial and brain position fixation device according to the design requirement data and preliminary design parameters.
[0049] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 Detailed step flow diagram of step S1 in the embodiment of the present invention, step S1 includes the following steps:
[0050] Step S11: using 3D scanning technology to obtain accurate three-dimensional information of the patient's head and neck, thereby obtaining the patient's three-dimensional scanning data; performing image segmentation on the patient's three-dimensional scanning data, extracting key anatomical feature points, and establishing a personalized digital model of the patient, thereby obtaining the patient's body shape data;
[0051] The embodiment of the present invention uses a high-precision 3D scanning device (such as a structured light scanner or a laser scanner) to capture the three-dimensional information of the patient's head and neck, ensuring that the scanning device can accurately capture the subtle anatomical structure. The patient needs to maintain a fixed position and the device performs a full-range scan around the patient's head and neck to obtain complete three-dimensional surface data. The scanning process needs to be fast and accurate to reduce errors caused by patient movement. Use professional three-dimensional image processing software to cut and clean the scanned data, remove noise and unnecessary parts, and extract key areas related to the design, such as surface data of the head and neck. Extract key anatomical feature points such as ears, nose tips, eye sockets, etc. through algorithms or manual annotations. These feature points are used for precise registration and personalized design of subsequent models. The cleaned three-dimensional data and feature points are integrated to construct a personalized digital model that reflects the patient's specific body shape, which will serve as the basis for subsequent design.
[0052] Step S12: collecting information on the type of surgery, duration of surgery, and surgical position, and analyzing the requirements of different types of surgery for cranial and brain position fixation devices, thereby generating position requirement data;
[0053] The embodiment of the present invention collects the type of neurosurgery that the patient is going to undergo (such as craniotomy, brain tumor resection, etc.), because different types of operations have different requirements for body position. The estimated operation time is recorded. Longer operations have higher requirements for the comfort and fixation stability of the body position fixation device. According to the type of operation, the body position that the patient's head and neck need to maintain during the operation is determined, which may include prone, lateral or supine positions. In combination with the type of operation, duration and body position, the specific requirements that the cranial body position fixation device needs to meet are analyzed; considering the fixation accuracy, stability and possible adjustment needs of the patient's head during the operation, the body position requirement data is generated, and these data are used to guide the design of the shape and adjustment mechanism of the fixation device.
[0054] Step S13: establishing a comfort evaluation model according to a preset comfort evaluation table and collecting the patient's physiological indicators in real time through an intelligent sensor system, thereby obtaining comfort data;
[0055] The embodiment of the present invention designs a comfort evaluation form, which includes multiple dimensions related to patient comfort, such as head pressure distribution, support point comfort, skin contact feeling of materials, etc. The evaluation form will be used to quantify the impact of different designs on patient comfort. During the design evaluation stage, by installing pressure sensors, temperature sensors, etc. at key contact points on the patient's head and neck, the impact of the fixation device on the patient's physiological indicators is monitored in real time. The data collected by the intelligent sensing system will be uploaded and processed in real time to evaluate the comfort performance of different designs. The data includes pressure, temperature changes, etc., which can directly reflect the comfort of the device. Based on the collected data and the content of the comfort evaluation form, a comprehensive comfort evaluation model is constructed; the model can automatically evaluate the comfort of the device based on the input sensor data and patient feedback, and generate comfort data to provide a basis for design optimization.
[0056] Step S14: collecting the interaction requirements between the surgical instrument and the fixation device and the accuracy requirements of different types of neurosurgery, so as to obtain fixation accuracy data;
[0057] The embodiment of the present invention collects information about the main instruments to be used in the operation, especially their operating space and possible interaction areas with the fixture. This information will help design the shape and position of the fixture to avoid affecting the operation of the instrument during the operation. Analyze the interaction between the instrument and the fixture to determine the amplitude and accuracy of the head position adjustment that may be required during the operation; ensure that the fixture can provide sufficient fixing force without hindering the use of surgical instruments. With reference to existing neurosurgery accuracy standards, determine the accuracy requirements of the fixture in different surgical scenarios, which usually include the allowable range of movement of the head, the stability of the head position after fixation, etc. Integrate the instrument interaction requirements and surgical accuracy requirements to generate fixation accuracy data, which are used to guide the design of the adjustment mechanism of the fixture to ensure that the accuracy requirements can be met during the operation.
[0058] Step S15: integrating the patient's body shape data, body position requirement data, comfort data, and fixation accuracy data, thereby obtaining design requirement data for the cranial body position fixation device;
[0059] The embodiment of the present invention integrates and analyzes the acquired patient body shape data, body position requirement data, comfort data and fixation accuracy data to generate a comprehensive design requirement report; the report includes detailed analysis results of various types of data, clarifies the design goals and functional indicators that need to be achieved. Based on the results of the integrated analysis, the final design requirement data is generated, which will serve as the basis for the preliminary three-dimensional model design of the fixture to ensure that the design can meet all functional requirements and comfort requirements.
[0060] Step S16: Collect clinical application information and usage scenario information to obtain preliminary design parameters;
[0061] The embodiments of the present invention collect information about the use of fixation devices in actual surgical scenarios through communication with clinicians and technicians, as well as on-site observations, including the performance of the fixation devices in different surgical positions, the ease of adjustment, etc. The performance data of fixation devices used in similar surgeries in the past are collected and analyzed to identify areas that need improvement in the current design. Based on the collected clinical application information, preliminary design parameters are generated, which may include material selection, adjustment range, fixation strength, etc., as input parameters for the preliminary three-dimensional model design.
[0062] Step S17: Using CAD software to construct a preliminary three-dimensional model of the cranial and brain position fixation device according to the design requirement data and preliminary design parameters.
[0063] The embodiment of the present invention uses CAD software to input the design requirement data and preliminary design parameters into the software to start building a preliminary three-dimensional model of the fixture, which includes the overall shape of the device, the support frame, the fixing components and the adjustment mechanism. During the modeling process, the model is adjusted in detail according to the requirement data, such as determining the shape of the fixing components to adapt to the patient's personalized head contour, and adjusting the range of the adjustment mechanism to meet the requirements of different surgical positions. After the preliminary model is completed, preliminary verification and evaluation are carried out to confirm whether the model can meet the basic functional requirements, laying the foundation for subsequent mechanical performance analysis and structural optimization.
[0064] The present invention uses 3D scanning technology to accurately obtain the shape of the patient's head and neck, ensuring that the device design can perfectly fit the patient's anatomical structure. Through image cutting and extraction of key anatomical feature points, a more accurate and personalized patient digital model can be established, which helps to improve the adaptability of the fixation device and the comfort of the patient. Collecting information on the type, duration and position of surgery helps to understand the specific requirements of different surgeries for fixation devices; this analysis ensures that the design can meet the needs of specific surgeries. Through the comfort evaluation table and the intelligent sensor system, the patient's physiological indicators can be monitored and evaluated in real time, so as to establish a comfort evaluation model, which helps to design a fixation device that is both safe and comfortable, and reduces the patient's discomfort during surgery. Accurate fixation accuracy is crucial for neurosurgery. By collecting the interaction requirements between surgical instruments and fixation devices and the accuracy requirements of different surgeries, it can be ensured that the device design meets high-precision fixation standards. By integrating the data on patient body shape, position requirements, comfort and fixation accuracy, a comprehensive data set of design requirements for cranial and brain position fixation devices can be obtained. This integration ensures that the design can comprehensively consider all key factors and improve the applicability and effectiveness of the device. Collecting clinical application information and usage scenario information can help generate preliminary design parameters that meet actual application needs, which helps ensure that the designed device is not only feasible in theory, but also performs optimally in actual applications. Using CAD software and design requirement data to build a preliminary three-dimensional model can intuitively display the design concept of the device. This step is a key link in converting abstract design requirements into specific models, laying the foundation for subsequent design optimization and prototyping. Overall, these steps ensure that the cranial and brain position fixation device can meet high medical standards while providing customized solutions for patients through precise data collection, personalized design, and in-depth understanding of surgical needs.
[0065] Preferably, step S17 comprises the following steps:
[0066] Step S171: importing the design requirement data and preliminary design parameters into the CAD software, establishing a design parameter library, and thus obtaining a design parameter data set;
[0067] The embodiment of the present invention imports the design requirement data (including patient body shape data, body position requirement data, comfort data and fixed precision data) and preliminary design parameters (such as material selection, support structure, etc.) collected and sorted in the early stage into the CAD software. The software needs to support the classification and management of data to ensure that these data can be effectively used for modeling. Create a design parameter library in the CAD software to classify and manage the imported data. The parameter library includes specific parameter values of each data, such as geometric dimensions, shape characteristics, adjustment range, etc. This library will serve as the basis for subsequent modeling and design optimization, and provide support for parametric modeling.
[0068] Step S172: using a parametric modeling tool of the CAD software to create a basic geometric structure of the device according to the design parameter data set, thereby obtaining a basic geometric model;
[0069] The embodiment of the present invention uses the parametric modeling tool in the CAD software to create the basic geometric structure of the cranial and cerebral position fixation device according to the data set in the design parameter library. The basic geometric structure mainly includes the support frame of the device, the basic shape of the fixing parts, the preliminary structure of the adjustment mechanism, etc. According to the requirements in the design requirement data, the geometric models of the support frame, the fixing parts, etc. are established in turn. The model at this stage focuses on the overall geometric shape and basic functional layout, laying the foundation for subsequent detail optimization.
[0070] Step S173: adjusting the size and optimizing the shape of the basic geometric model based on the digital model of the patient's head and neck according to the patient's body shape data, thereby obtaining a matching optimized model;
[0071] The embodiment of the present invention imports the patient's personalized digital model (including accurate three-dimensional information of the head and neck) into the CAD software and matches it with the basic geometric model. The size and shape of the basic geometric model are adjusted to match the patient's body shape data. According to the patient's three-dimensional anatomical data, the various dimensional parameters of the basic geometric model, such as the curvature of the fixed parts, the size of the support frame, etc., are adjusted. Ensure that each part of the model is highly matched with the shape of the patient's head and neck to improve the stability and comfort of the device. After completing the matching optimization, a geometric model that is highly matched with the patient's personalized needs is generated, that is, a matching optimization model. This model will be used for subsequent structural function optimization.
[0072] Step S174: adding adjustable structures and mechanisms to the matching optimization model according to the body position requirement data, thereby obtaining a comfort optimization model;
[0073] The embodiment of the present invention adds adjustment structures and mechanisms to the matching optimization model according to different surgical types and body position requirements; these structures and mechanisms include adjustable fixed arms, flexible connecting parts, etc., which can adjust the patient's head position according to surgical needs to ensure comfort during the operation. Through parametric modeling tools, the size and position of each adjustment structure are finely adjusted to ensure that it can maintain optimal comfort within the adjustment range. Considering the changes in the patient's body position during long-term surgery, the design structure should have sufficient flexibility and stability. After completing the comfort optimization, a three-dimensional model with good comfort and adaptability is generated, namely the comfort optimization model. This model will continue to be improved in subsequent precision optimization.

[0108] In the basic structural model of the embodiment of the present invention, key parameters are identified and defined, which generally include but are not limited to size parameters (such as length, width, height), angle parameters (such as rotation angle, tilt angle), and shape parameters (such as curvature radius, cross-sectional shape). Using the parametric design tool in the CAD software, these key parameters are set as adjustable variables so that they can be flexibly modified in the subsequent design process. Define the association relationship between the key parameters, which includes direct association (such as a fixed size ratio between two components) and indirect association (such as the effect of angle changes on the overall structural shape).

Use simulation tools to simulate the impact of parameter changes on model performance, especially to check the mechanical properties, stability and operability of the model under different configurations. According to the verification results, the parameter association relationship and geometric structure of the model are optimized and adjusted. The goal of the optimization is to ensure that the model can exhibit stable performance under various possible parameter settings, while simplifying the user's parameter adjustment operations; correct possible parameter conflicts or unreasonable associations in the model to ensure the flexibility and accuracy of parameter adjustment. After completing the verification and optimization, an adjustable three-dimensional parametric model is finally generated. The model has a high degree of flexibility and can adapt to different design requirements by adjusting key parameters, and provides a reliable foundation for practical applications and manufacturing.
[0113] The present invention can ensure that the most critical influencing factors are paid attention to during the design process by defining key parameters of the basic structure model, including size, angle and shape parameters. Establishing the association relationship between parameters to form parameter association data lays the foundation for subsequent parametric modeling. This approach improves the flexibility and adjustability of the design, enables the design to quickly respond to changes in demand, and also facilitates design iteration and optimization. The parameter-driven three-dimensional model constructed using parameter association data realizes the automatic update and adjustment function of the model. Obtaining the basic data of the parametric model means that the designer can drive the change of the model by adjusting the parameter value without having to re-design the complex geometry. This method significantly improves the design efficiency, reduces the workload when modifying the design, and helps to realize the automation and intelligence of the design. The parameter change-model change reflection verification and testing of the basic data of the parametric model ensure that the response of the model to the parameter adjustment is correct and expected. Through optimization and adjustment, a more stable and reliable adjustable three-dimensional parametric model is obtained. This step is a key link to ensure the quality of the design, which helps to discover and correct potential problems of the model, thereby improving the accuracy and performance of the final product. Through these steps, the designer can create a highly flexible and configurable cranial and brain position fixation device model. The parametric design method makes the design process more efficient and provides a powerful tool for personalized customization and rapid iteration of products. This parameter-based design method is particularly important in engineering design and CAD modeling because it allows different design solutions to be generated by modifying parameters to meet the specific needs of different patients and surgeries.
