Abstract :
Cranioplasty is a surgical operation to repair hole or defects on skull. 3 dimensional computed tomography (CT) images are used for automatic determination of the shape of implant which is used for repairing defect. The designing implant by mathematical model and manufacturing it before operation lowers the operation cost. In this paper, previous studies are examined, applications are realized by radial basis functions (RBF) and insufficient sections of previous studies are revealed.
