Project Description
This project uses SOFA/SlicerSOFA to simulate orbital fracture repair to predict soft tissue restoration after plate placement. Orbital fracture are a common facial injury caused by blunt-force, such as assault, falling, and contact sports. Fracture repairs frequently requires placing a titanium plate to reconstruct bony orbit and restore tissue position and function. This is an ongoing project exploring using SOFA/SlicerSOFA to produce a reproducible FEM pipeline to simulate tissue retraction, plate placement, and tissue restoration. The goal is to quantify and predict tissue position restoration from disturbed condition, such as enophthalmos (psoteriorly displaced, "sunken" eye), fat herniation, and muscle conformation changes.
Currently, we are using a multi-material mesh to simplify meshing and simulation for reproducibility.
Objective
- Explore solutions for more realistic fat tissue behavior, especially in a multi-material tissue setting
- Simplify image-based meshing process
- Quantifying tissue restoration: globe position, rectus muscle shape, and overall orbital volume and shape.
- Create a draft Slicer module for an integrated image-to-segmentation workflow based on SlicerSOFA
Approach and Plan
- Describe specific steps of what you plan to do to achieve the above described objectives.
Progress and Next Steps
- Describe specific steps you have actually done.
