Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Medical Instrument and Food Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology designed a course Basic Training of Scientific Research. This course enables students to write an academic paper using AUTOCAD computer aided design software.
OBJECTIVE: To help students build the basic ability of scientific research, and to provide data for further implementing individual artificial knee design and production.
METHODS: Knee joint CT two dimensional images were provided by the Shanghai Minhang Central People’s Hospital in China. Students were asked to extract the profiles of CT two dimensional images of the patients using AUTOCAD software. Three dimensional B spline curve of the distal femur of the knee could be obtained, which can prepare individual design and artificial knee joint manufacture, better adapt to demand for personalized knee implants in Chinese medical science, and give a better service for patients with knee replacement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The students processed CT file images of femoral distal human knee joint. Vector and extraction of two-dimensional profile of knee joint in distal femur were conducted using image processing software such as computer aided design. Three dimensional data of patients with distal femoral CT fault film were established, which provides an effective manner for individual design of knee joint in clinical medicine.
