腰椎运动节段数字模型建立及三维可视化研究

目的 寻求基于CT断层图像重建腰椎运动节段数字模型及三维可视化的方法.方法 基于腰椎L4-5的64排螺旋CT连续断层二维图像,Mimics软件分别对腰椎骨性结构及各种软组织进行重建,并导人有限元分析软件进行模型验证.结果 建立腰椎L4-5运动节段三维数字模型,包括两个椎体、皮质骨、松质骨、终板、纤维环、髓核及6种韧带,数字模型可输出用作CAD(计算机辅助设计)、RP(快速成型)及FEA(有限元分析)研究.结论 薄层CT、Dicom标准的应用使数字模型的建立更为精确,Mimics软件建立人体骨骼及软组织各种结构更为方便,并可以输出数字模型用于进一步研究.

A digital model for lumbar motion segment reconstruction and three-dimensional visualization

Objective To establish a digital model for reconstruction and three-dimensional visualization of lumbar motion segment from CT images. Methods Based on 64 row spiral CT continuous 2-dimensional images of L4-L5 segments, the lumbar structure and various soft tissues were reconstructed with the Mimics software, followed by validation of this model using finite element analysis software. Results The established three-dimensional digital model of lumbar motion segment included two vertebral bodies, cortical bone, cancellous bone, endplate, annulus fibrosus, nucleus pulposus and 6 types of ligaments. The output result of the digital model can be used to for research of computer aided design, rapid rototyping and finite element analysis. Conclusion The application of thin-layer CT and Dicom standard ensures more accurate digital model establishment, and Mimics software allows more convenient reconstruction of the human skeleton and various soft tissues to facilitate further research.
