DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physical Sciences Inc. and its collaborators at Medical Modeling Inc. and the Brigham and Women's hospital propose to develop software for planning maxillofacial surgery. The software will complement the OsteoMark system under development at PSI and will be integrated with the current surgical planning process used by many surgeons. Current software for planning maxillofacial procedures allows identification of osteotomies and movement of fragments but does not allow easy incorporation of fixation hardware or distractors. Plate shaping and screw placement are done by one of a few vendors using engineering computer-aided design software. In this program, we will develop a set of format standards that will describe the geometric, movement, and deformability characteristics for fixation hardware from virtually any vendor. We will develop software tools for placement and bending of fixation plates on a virtual model, and will test the algorithm on plates from multiple vendors. The new algorithms will allow rapid evaluation of many plate options from different vendors to select the best for each patient. Initially to be used by planners, it will provide clinicians with better options with less planning time and hence lower cost. As treatment planning software evolves, automated features such as these will make it possible for clinicians to do more planning at their desks. Better planning for surgery in the face and other parts of the skeleton will lead to reduced time and cost and improved aesthetic and functional outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：物理科学公司及其在Medical Modeling Inc.的合作者以及Brigham and妇女医院建议开发用于计划上颌面外科手术的软件。该软件将补充PSI开发的Osteomark系统，并将与许多外科医生使用的当前手术计划过程集成。当前用于计划上颌面程序的软件允许识别截骨术和碎片的运动，但不允许轻松合并固定硬件或干扰器。使用工程计算机辅助设计软件之一，由少数供应商之一完成板塑料和螺丝钉的位置。在此程序中，我们将开发一组格式标准，这些标准将描述几乎任何供应商的固定硬件的几何，移动和变形性特征。我们将开发用于在虚拟模型上放置和弯曲板的软件工具，并将测试来自多个供应商的板上的算法。新算法将允许对不同供应商的许多板选项进行快速评估，以选择每个患者的最佳选择。最初，计划人员将使用，它将为临床医生提供更好的选择，而计划时间更少，因此成本较低。随着治疗计划软件的发展，诸如此类的自动化功能将使临床医生在桌子上进行更多计划。更好地计划手术的脸部和骨骼其他部位将导致时间和成本降低，并改善了美学和功能结果。
