F367684 04: A High Resolution Three-Dimensional (3-D) Image Displays A Computerised Visualization Of An Infant's Face And Skull With Premature Closure Of The Right Coronal Suture. These Images Were Reconstructed From A Formatted Ct Scan, Using Ross.Ct Software At The Ames Center For Bioinformatics At Nasa Ames Research Center September 1998 In Moffett Field, Ca. The Goal Of The Software Is To Develop A Virtual Environment Workbench For Planning Complex Craniofacial Reconstructive Surgery, And Other Surgeries Including Breast Reconstruction For Mastectomy Patients. This Nasa Technology Will Enable Surgeons To Plan Complex Surgical Procedures And To Visualize The Potential Results Of Reconstructive Surgery In A Virtual Environment Simulator.
