The aim of this study was to develop and validate a semi-automated segmentation approach that identifies the round window niche (RWN) and round window membrane (RWM) for use in the development of patient individualized round window niche implants (RNI) to treat inner ear disorders. Twenty cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) datasets of unilateral...
A new approach that offers the potential for local drug delivery to the inner ear is a 3D printed, patient individualized, drug-loaded implant that precisely fits into the round window niche (RWN). Anatomically correct digital light processing (DLP) 3D printed implant prototypes are beneficial for preoperative planning and rehearsal of implantation...
Here, we demonstrate a manufacturing process for individualised, small-sized implant prototypes. Our process is promising for the manufacturing of drug-releasing (micro)implants to be implanted in the round window niche (RWN-I, solid body, free-form-shaped design, 1.1 x 2.7 x 3.1 mm) and for frontal neo-ostium implants (FO-I, tube-like design, leng...
High-resolution additive manufacturing methods such as digital light processing (DLP) offer promising opportunities for rapid tooling for micro injection molding (µIM). There are possible savings in time and costs for µIM of small and micro plastic parts for sensors, electronics and (bio)medical products. Here we present the rapid tooling of polyme...
A gazetteer Web service is an essential semantic component in a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). Due to the different query options - starting from the text, searching for its spatial representation or vice versa asking for the designation of an area - the gazetteer can be used both, for issues with semantic context as well for onomasiological qu...
We sketch the main software components developed in the project RichWPS1, which aims to support end users (no IT experts) to make better use of distributed geodata processing through the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS). These services include a service orchestration solution (modelling GUI and orchestration engine), several supporting modules and...
Web service (WS) orchestration can be considered as a fundamental concept in service-oriented architectures (SOA), as well as in spatial data infrastructures (SDI). In recent years in SOA, advanced solutions were developed, such as realizing orchestrated web services on the basis of already existing more fine-granular web services by using standard...
The overall experience of any geospatial processing environment depends on the successful collaboration of different distributed components, such as clients, web portals, multiple processing-nodes and service discovery-measures. Many aspects of web service based geospatial processing have already been tackled and put into action at various operatio...
NdsKIS is a social software enabling users to examine knowledge and information about a specific locality, discuss it and pass it on in a form adjusted for specific groups of users. NdsKIS is being developed for the German area of the North Sea, but can also be applied to studies in other regions. NdsKIS constitutes a portal providing access to dis...
