Reconstruction of Large and Complex Cranial Defects

This repository contains the automatically generated (with minor manual post-processing) cranial implants (in NRRD format) for the 29 craniotomy skulls in the MUG500+ dataset (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.9616319) and the 11 defective skulls from Task 2 of the AutoImplant II challenge (https://autoimplant2021.grand-challenge.org/). <br> The implants together with the corresponding skulls could serve the following purposes: 1) as test samples, where the implants are the baseline results 2) as the training samples 3) as educational tools (e.g., 3D Printing) <br> <br> The video ('implant manual cleaning.mp4') shows how the resulting implant (subtraction between the reconstructed skull and the defective skull) can be post-processed manually using 3D slicer. <br> If you use any part of the dataset, please cite the following: <br> (1) Li J., et al.
