Simulating Expansion of the Intracranial Space to Accommodate Brain Swelling after Decompressive Craniectomy: Volumetric Quantification in a 3D CAD Skull Model with Contour Elevation

Simulating Expansion of the Intracranial Space to Accommodate Brain Swelling after Decompressive Craniectomy: Volumetric Quantification in a 3D CAD Skull Model with Contour Elevation

<i>Background</i>: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) can be used to augment intracranial space and halt brainstem compromise. However, a widely adopted recommendation for optimal surgical extent of the DC procedure is lacking. In the current study, we utilized three-dimensional (3D) compute...
