  • Publication number: 20250078304
    Abstract: An evaluation method of craniofacial asymmetry index based on artificial intelligence is disclosed and includes: a craniofacial image shooting step: obtaining a craniofacial model file of a patient; an artificial intelligence head shape identification and feature point marking step: importing the craniofacial model file into an artificial intelligence algorithm, performing identification and feature point marking on a craniofacial image in the craniofacial model file to generate at least one feature point; a craniofacial space coordinate axis establishment step: including a coordinate axis y-z plane establishment step, a coordinate axis origin establishment step and a z-axis orientation definition step; and an artificial intelligence skew degree estimation step: inputting the craniofacial model file and corresponding coordinate axes into an artificial intelligence skew degree evaluation algorithm simultaneously, and presenting a craniofacial skew degree in a data visualization manner.

  • Publication number: 20170266338
    Abstract: A formulation of foam thermosensitive hydrogel includes a thermosensitive hydrogel including synthetic polymeric material. The thermosensitive hydrogel has properties of changing phase from liquid to solid in high temperature and changing phase from solid to liquid in low temperature. The foam thermosensitive hydrogel having a predetermined surface tension is formed after mixing the thermosensitive hydrogel with air. The foam thermosensitive hydrogel has properties of increased volume and being semisolid. After injecting the foam thermosensitive hydrogel into a human body, the foam thermosensitive hydrogel changes phase form liquid to solid after temperature rises above LCST. The foam thermosensitive hydrogel injected into the human body becomes a solid, physical barrier between an injured site and surrounding tissue, thereby preventing adhesion from forming in the human body. A method of manufacturing foam thermosensitive hydrogel is also provided.
