AI Technical Summary
Existing skull models are difficult to accurately represent the internal structure of the skull, especially the complexity of the skull base. This makes it difficult for medical students and inexperienced doctors to establish the spatial relationship between extracranial and intracranial bony structures and brain tissue, resulting in difficulties in intraoperative positioning and operation.
A skull model for surgical marking and teaching was designed. Points, lines, surfaces and dimensions required for brain structure and skull measurement were marked on the model, and the brain surface topography was displayed through three-dimensional projection, which increased the understanding of the relative position between brain tissue and the skull surface, and assisted in teaching and surgical marking.
Through 3D projection and marking, students and inexperienced doctors can systematically understand brain structure, learn about the adjacent relationship between brain tissue and bone flaps, and improve the accuracy of surgical marking and teaching efficiency.
