A tumor treatment field (TTField) is applied via an electrode embedded in a skull implant. By positioning capacitively coupled electrodes on opposite sides of the tumor and applying an AC voltage between the electrodes, a tumor treatment field (TTField) may be used to treat a tumor (e.g., a brain tumor) within a human's head. Unlike conventional methods, in which all electrodes are located on the scalp of a person, at least one of the electrodes is implemented using an implanted device. The implanted device includes a rigid substrate that is shaped and dimensioned to replace a section of the skull of a person. At least one conductive plate is secured to the inside of the rigid substrate, and a dielectric layer is disposed on the inside of the one or more conductive plates. The conductive lead is used to apply an AC voltage to the one or more conductive plates.

The present application relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a five-axis printing shell part support structure generation method, device, equipment and medium. The five-axis printing shell part support structure generation method disclosed by the present application first divides the curved surface of the shell part model into layers to obtain the bottom layer curved surface slice, identifies the overhanging edge to obtain the overhanging boundary line and projects to obtain the projected boundary line, determines the key boundary information, and generates the part support structure accordingly, which can better fit the shape of the part bottom layer and the overhanging condition, is suitable for shell parts such as human skull implants, overcomes the limitation of non-support printing, and the structure is generated according to the specific boundary line, thereby reducing the amount of support material and the difficulty of removal.

Tumor therapeutic fields (TTFields) can be used to treat tumors (such as brain tumors) within a person's head by positioning capacitively coupled electrodes on opposite sides of the tumor and applying an AC voltage between the electrodes. Unlike conventional methods where all electrodes are located on the scalp, at least one of the electrodes is implemented using an implanted device. The implanted device includes a rigid substrate shaped and sized to replace a segment of the human skull. At least one conductive plate is attached to the inside of the rigid substrate, and a dielectric layer is disposed on the inside of one or more conductive plates. Conductive leads are used to apply an AC voltage to the one or more conductive plates.

An affixation device for a human skull may include a base plate that has an outer area for securing to the skull and an inner area for securing to a bone flap removed from the skull. The affixation device may also have at least one spacer located between the outer area and the inner area, where the at least one spacer extends from a first surface of the base plate, where the first surface facing the skull when the fixation device is in an installed state, and where the at least one spacer is configured to extend between the bone flap and the skull in the installed state.
