Digital database for nasal prosthesis design with a 3D morphable face model approach

Résumé fourni par la source

Designing nasal prostheses can be challenging because of the unpaired nature of the facial feature, especially in patients lacking preoperative information. Various nose model databases have been developed as a helpful starting point for the computer-aided design of nasal prostheses, but these do not appear to be readily accessible. Therefore, an open-access digital database of nose models has been generated based on a 3-dimensional (3D) morphable face model approach. This article describes the generation of the database, highlights steps for designing a nasal prosthesis, and points readers to the database for future clinical application and research.
