Assessment of Surgical Rhinoplastic Intervention using Voxel-based Thermo-fluid Simulation

这项工作描述了一种新的方法，提供详细的量化的影响，手术干预双侧鼻腔气流usingvoxel为基础的热流体模拟。分别用CT和MRI扫描重建鼻中隔偏曲患者术前和术后鼻气道的三维虚拟模型。应用基于体素的模拟来比较术前和术后模型之间吸气鼻气流的特征。结果表明，使用这种建模技术适用于外科干预的预测评估。

This work describes a new approach to provide detailedquantification of the impact of surgical intervention on bilateral nasal airflow usingvoxel-based thermo-fluid simulation. CT and MRI scans were used to reconstruct 3Dvirtual models of both the pre- and post-operative nasal airways, respectively, of a patientwho presented with a deviated septum. Voxel-based simulations were applied to enable thecharacteristics of inspiratory nasal airflow to be compared between the pre- andpost-operative models. The results showed that the use of such modeling techniques isapplicable to the predictive assessment of surgical interventions.
