Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop a method to construct three dimensional finite element model of nasomaxillary complex,in order to provide the foundation of studying nasomaxillary biomechanics characteristics.METHODS DICOM data from HelixCT were analyzed and reconstructed in software Mimics,then complete constructing three dimensional finite element model of nasomaxillary complex in Ansys.RESULTS The nasomaxillary complex model was similar to original case in structure,which is a high finite element model.CONCLUSION Computer assistant in constructing finite element model from DICOM data is a convenient,exact and efficient method .The nasomaxillay complex finite element model is exact and reproductable,and can provide the foundation of studying biomechanics mechanism of nasomaxillary fracture in otolaryngology.
