The sensitivity of radiomic features to several confounding factors, such as reconstruction
settings, makes clinical use challenging. To investigate the impact of harmonized image …

Importance In acetabular fracture surgery, achieving an optimal reconstruction of the
articular surface decreases the risk of osteoarthritis and the subsequent need for total hip …

Over the past decade, the demand for three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific (PS) modelling
and simulations has increased considerably; they are now widely available and generally …

Introduction When the application of a free vascularised flap is not possible, a segmental
mandibular defect is often reconstructed using a conventional reconstruction plate. Mechanical …

Background: The sensitivity of radiomic features to several confounding factors, such as image
reconstruction settings, makes clinical use challenging. In order to investigate the impact …

Zygomatic implants are used in patients with maxillary defects to improve the retention and
stability of obturator prostheses, thereby securing good oral function. Prosthetic-driven …

For patients who suffer from severe dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), a total
joint replacement (TJR) in the form of a prosthesis may be indicated. The position of the …

Background Templates aim to facilitate implant placement in the prosthetically preferred
position. Mucosa-supported and bone-supported templates are commonly used in the …

Background: The sensitivity of radiomic features to several confounding factors, such as
reconstruction settings, makes clinical use challenging. In order to investigate the impact of …

This thesis focuses on the development, implementation, evaluation, and optimization of 3D-virtual
surgical planning (VSP) workflows and patient specific implants (PSI) for oral and …
