Establishment and analysis of three-dimensional model of gastroesophagus / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To perform 3D modeling based on CT images of human stomach-esophagus structure and provide 3D models of normal and reflux forms of gastroesophagus.Methods:Based on CT images of stomach-esophagus structure, 3D models was established using Mimics 10.01, Geomagic Studio 2012 and SolidWorks 2018 software. In the modeling process, the Mimics software was used to coarsely and finely divide the model to export stomach-esophageal point cloud data. On the basis of the point cloud data, Geomagic Studio software was used to simplify and repair the model, and complete the operations of filling holes and smooth surfaces. SolidWorks software was used to process the structure of the cardia and establish a normal model of stomach-esophagus and a model of cardiac disease. Finally, the model was replicated using soft 3D printing technology.Results:The geometric parameters of the established stomach-esophagus model were within the actual range, which proved that the model has certain practicality.Conclusions:The model can be used as a basic material for gastric surgery simulation training, to help doctors or medical students to be proficient and improve the operation skills and surgical level of gastric surgery.
