5. Project Based Learning Tentative Project: Hip Replacement Design (To be finalized by week 2) Metal, Polyethylene, Ceramic Implantation Hip replacement is a medical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a synthetic implant. It is the most successful, cheapest and safest form of joint replacement surgery.

9. Reverse Engineering – Application Slice Model of the prosthesis stem fitted to the medullary canal. Differences in cross-sections of the three designs of the prosthesis stems: Solid Model
10. CT-based Modelling – Procedure Segmentation of CT images Stack of sectional curves NURBs Surface fitting Solid Model Step 1 selection of CT images that represent the desired anatomy of the bone, Step 2 segmentation of the desired object(s) through detection of the contours by determining the value of Hounsfield number CT at points Step 3 creation of sectional curves along the CT points Step 4 creation of surface model from the curves Step 5 generation of the solid model of the femur
11. Review on Commercial Software – ScanFE/ScanIP Simpleware ( http://www.simpleware.com/index.php ) – MRI and CT (US$15K) ScanIP – image processing tools to assist the user in visualising and segmenting regions of interest from any volumetric 3D data (e.g. MRI, CT, MicroCT). Segmented images can be exported as STL files for CAD analysis and RP manufacturing or imported directly into leading commercial finite element packages. ScanFE – generates volume and/or surface meshes, contact surfaces and material properties from segmented data. Software Export – ABAQUS, ANSYS Segmentation Hip meshed with ScanFE Analysis
12. Review on Commercial Software – Mimics Mimics – http://www.materialise.com/materialise/view/en/65854-Homepage.html CT, MRI images Allow segmentation, solid modelling and FEA or export MedCAD Module – a bridge between medical imaging (CT, MRI) and CAD. Allow a two-way interface from the imaging system to the CAD system and vice versa . FEA – Build-in FEA module: Remesh the 3D object with the Mimics Remesher Export Software – Patran neutral, Ansys or Abaqus (surface mesh) Material Assignment – Continuious
13. Review on Commercial Software – Amira and Rhino3D Amira – http://www.amiravis.com/ Import for CT, MRI, Ultrasound images from current scanning devices via DICOM, Rhino3D – http://www.rhino3d.com/ US$195 Import for CT, MRI via DICOM Manually generate 3D solid model Import to Solidworks, Catia, Unigraphics etc
