The aim of the project is to coordinate international research to support the development of biomedical engineering in the direction of developing models and methods to increase the reliability of nasal breathing diagnostics through the introduction of rapid prototyping technology.
It was executed:
- a method for segmentation of the upper respiratory tract based on tomographic data has been developed;
- prepared 3D models of the upper respiratory tract for rapid prototyping;
- formulated practical recommendations for determining the optimal parameters of 3D-slicing for accurate detailing of anatomical full-scale models;
- a procedure was carried out to clarify the influence of the aerodynamic characteristics of the upper respiratory tract on the breathing parameters;
- a block diagram of a test bench for determining the aerodynamic characteristics of the upper respiratory tract has been developed.
