基于CT图像应用Mimics软件快速构建人体胸腰段骨骼有限元模型

将以各向同性分辨0.625mm薄层扫描所得的层厚0.65mm人体胸腰段连续断层210层Dicom格式CT图像,直接读入Mimics后界定骨组织阈值、提取各层面轮廓线、图像边缘分割、选择性编辑及补洞处理,去除冗余数据,三维化处理后获得胸腰段三维几何面网格模型,将其保存为后缀名.lis的Ansys文件,直接导入Ansys有限元分析软件进行体网格划分,再将体网格转入Mimics根据CT值给予赋值,再次导入Ansys生成有限元模型.快捷建立了外形逼真、计算精确的人体胸腰段脊柱三维有限元模型.结果提示,应用精细CT扫描技术,图像Dicom标准,Mimics软件能直接与Ansys软件进行对接,并能根据CT值直接赋值使胸腰段脊柱三维有限元模型的建立更加快捷、精确.

Reconstructing a bone finite element model of human thoracolumbar spine based on CT images by using Mimics software

Directly reading the 210-layer of 0.65-mm-thick consecutive CT Dicom format images of human body thoracolumbar making use of 0.625-mm isotropous resolution thin layer scanning technique into the Mimics. Defining bone organization threshold, withdrawing each outline, partitioning each edge of layer picture, edited selectively and repaired by hole processing. After a redundancy data was cleaned, the thoracolumbar 3-D finite element geometry model was acquired. Then area mesh could be kept as the document Ansys named.lis as the suffix and be introduced into Ansys software directly to mesh body, and then transferred the body mesh to mimics to assignment son the basis of CT values, once again import Ansys to establish 3-D finite element model. After that, a realistic appearance and calculation accuracy 3-D bone finite element model of thoracolumbar was established. The results showed that applications of sophisticated CT scanning technique, the Dicom standard of images, Mimics software directly dock with Ansys software can directly assign values according to CT, which make the establishment of three-dimensional finite element model of human thoracolumbar spine faster and more accurate.
