CMF Workshop Cleveland

Introduction

This workshop will highlight the use of publicly available software for dental applications of 3D virtual models from Cone-beam CT volumes. The ability to visualize the face in 3D does not imply the ability to quantify growth or treatment changes. 3D structural shape analyses continue to mandate a multidisciplinary collaborative team including clinician researchers, shape analysis and statistical modeling experts.

This 3D software workshop for Cranio Maxillo Facial applications is part of the Joint Cephalometric Experts Group 2011 that will be held from Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 6:30 PM - Friday, November 11, 2011 at 12:00 PM (ET) at Cleveland, OH.

Location

Workshop will be held in the George S. Dively Building, in the Case Western Reserve University campus, Cleveland (OH)

Presenters

• Lucia Cevidanes, Ph.D. DDS, University of Michigan
• Tung Nguyen, DDS, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
• Beatriz Paniagua, Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Local host

Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, Cleveland (OH). Mark Hans, DDS, MSD

Logistics

• The registration for the workshop must be made in the Joint Cephalometric Experts Group 2011 website.

Preparation for the workshop

• The workshop combines oral presentations and instructor-led hands-on sessions with the participants working on their own laptop computers.

All participants are required to come with their own laptop computer and install the software and datasets prior to the event. A minimum of 1 GB of RAM (4 GB is better) and a graphic accelerator with 64mb (512MB is better) of on-board graphic memory are required. Shared memory graphics boards have significantly poorer performance.

• Software
  • ITKsnap - Semi-automatic segmentation tool and visualization
  • Slicer3 - Visualization and analysis tool
  • Imagine - Registration tool
  • CMF reg - Slicer3 registration tool (under development)
• Data
  • ITKsnap segmentation
  • Imagine registration
  • Slicer3 visualization
  • MeshValmet quantification
  • data for the demo in Shape Correspondence
    
  • About the data: Pre and post corrective surgery CBCT (pre-V2, post-V8). The patient was diagnosed with a Class III malocclusion and the surgical procedure involved a mandibular retraction + maxillary advancement (The datasets will be also delivered to the attendees to the workshop using a USB storage device).
