This video gives a brief explanation of the main tools in mimics including, 2D & 3D view toolbars, the project management toolbar, measurement tools, windowing, and volume rendering. It helps you to interact with the Mimics interface easily.
In this section, you can learn how to create a mask by thresholding and how to edit this mask using the multiple slice edit tool. During this session, an implanted human femoral bone has been used as an example to show how you can segment out the bone, implant, and bone cement.
In this section, you will learn how to edit masks using different tools, perform Boolean operations, and create 3D models.
This lecture covers re-meshing the model’s surface elements to optimize the quality of the surface element and generate the model’s volume mesh. You need to do these operations in another Materialise software package called 3-matic. After generating the volume mesh, you can perform an accurate material assignment in mimics by combining the information from the Dicom images and the volume mesh in Mimics.
Welcome to the Materialise Mimics from basic to advanced level tutorial, the only course you need to learn everything about working with medical images to calculate 3D models, then perform mesh and assign material properties. This course is designed for biomedical and mechanical engineering students or engineers who are interested to expand their knowledge on converting anatomical data from images to 3D models and the segmentation process.
About Software
Mimics is a software package developed by Materialise company. The software allows extracting 3D information from an image stack and building a 3D model from it using RP technology.
About Course
This course is divided into 4 modules:
Mimics navigation, measurements tools, interacting with 2D and 3D viewports, mimics operations (Mimics- Crop, cavity fill, region growing, Boolean operations, etc)
Basic and advanced segmentation, segmentation of an implanted hip (including bone cement, implant, and bone)
Remeshing the model’s surface elements and generating the model’s volume mesh
Material properties assignment
Why This Course
This course will take you from beginner to pro in segmentation.
With the skills learned in this course, you can link medical images to other applications like Rapid Prototyping (RP), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and Surgical Simulation.
We have covered all the basic fundamentals of segmentation, performing mesh, and material properties assignment.
