Virtual Anatomical Reconstruction of Mandibular Bone Defects Using a Statistical Shape Model

Virtual Anatomical Reconstruction of Mandibular Bone Defects Using a Statistical Shape Model

Recruiting
20-60 years
All
Phase N/A

Overview

Hundred already taken CT-scans (50 male and 50 female) will be anonymized. These scans will be segmented and implemented into a statistical shape model that will be used to predict missing hard tissue of a mandible based on the remaining bone.

Description

Together with the radiology and Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) department, 100 scans will be selected from the database (50 males and 50 females, between 20 and 60 years old). First, they will be anonymized (except the sex and age/date of birth). Afterwards, they will be segmented using Materialise Mimics software. The segmented mandibles will then be used to create a statistical shape model (SSM) using principal component analysis. This model will afterwards be used to predict the mandibular shapes.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy mandibles

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Mandibles with major deformities
  • Mandibles with obvious problems
  • Mandibles that already underwent surgery

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
