How could I make a jaw bone CAE modelling with the accuracy based on the 3D MSCT/ (dental CBCT) imaging?
I would like to have your experiences in the following issues, such as:
1. - The optimum X-ray source specifications, such as: voltage (kVA) and current (mA), and the exposure duration (seconds) for capturing the real HU status?
2. - The algorithm or protocols for eliminating the graphical noises, blurring and the artefacts on CT imaging of junction of outer-surface of cortical and at the junction of cortical and trabecular bone. I try to use 3D Slicer (www.3dslicer.org) but the eliminating of noises and artefact mostly based on your own manual evaluation.
3. - If we have the boundary value of mechanical properties of bone types in jaw bone structure, are there any specific FEA/ FEM software or computing methods for converting and interpolating the bone physical/ mechanical properties by HU data, such as density, moduli of elasticity (E) and stresses, etc.
4. - How modelling the real junction between bone layer-typed in the jaw bone structure? In the most recent researches, the model is setting with the layer-offsetting which is not experienced the real case.
Dear Sir , please use the support of CYBER ANATOMY. https://www.cyber-anatomy.com - thanks.
You can use http://sfepy.org/dicom2fem/ to generate FE meshes from CT scans. It is an application for semi-automated segmentation base on the graph-cuts method. I think that HU data are not sufficient to determine the bone mechanical properties because they usually depend on a bone internal structure.
