Surgeons removed skull tissue and connected electrodes to the brain to monitor her brain functions.
a Histologic finding of group 1 after 2 weeks (H-E stain, ×40): t DDM, b bone of skull, rb regenerative bony tissue, Rb regenerative bony tissue from the skull bone.
And in a five month test, bioprinted fragments of skull implanted in rats had formed bone tissue with its own blood supply.
Most current methods utilize the soft tissue thickness of a set of skull landmarks for craniofacial reconstruction, but it is considered not an ideal approach to model the relationship between face and skull.
The irradiation of skull base tumours often injures the adjacent brain tissues.
The dominant methods construct facial surface from the soft tissue thickness measured at a set of skull landmarks.
To represent the dense tissue depth exactly, the dense point registration of skull or face is usually demanded.
This is a particular problem with base of skull tumours where post therapy bone or cartilage necrosis and soft tissue desmoplastic changes may mimic malignancy.
Essentially, the craniofacial reconstruction is to figure out the face of unknown skull by the knowledge of skull and face dependency, which is concretely represented as the distribution of the tissue thickness on skull.
Another algorithm of skull stripping works based on foreground/background thresholding, and isolates the brain, skull, and head tissues using the morphological operations [8].
