Reconstruction of human optic nerve heads for finite element modeling.
PURPOSE Glaucoma is a common ocular disease whose pathogenesis is hypothesized to involve biomechanical damage to optic nerve tissues. Here we describe a method for the construction of patient-specific models that can be used to evaluate the biomechanical environment within the optic nerve head. We validate the method using a virtual eye, and demonstrate its use in computing optic nerve head bi...
متن کاملFinite element modeling of optic nerve head biomechanics.
PURPOSE Biomechanical factors have been implicated in the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, particularly at the level of the lamina cribrosa. The goal of this study was to characterize the biomechanics of the optic nerve head using computer modeling techniques. METHODS Several models of the optic nerve head tissues (pre- and postlaminar neural tissue, lamina cribrosa, central reti...
متن کاملAnterior chiasmal optic nerve avulsion.
In a case of traumatic avulsion of the optic nerve at the anterior chiasm, MR imaging provided highly specific images of the injury site, including the absence of the optic nerve within the optic canal and the point of transection at the anterior portion of the chiasm. This was confirmed clinically and histopathologically. MR imaging should be considered in cases of suspected chiasmal injury.
متن کاملFinite element modeling of the human head under baton impact
Purpose: This research will try to predict damage probability and calculate the main stress resulted from baton impacts by finite element (FE) modeling of the human head considering skull texture, brain and cerebrospinal fluid.Materials and Methods: A three dimensional FE model of the skull-brain complex was constructed for simulating the baton impact. The FE analysis was carried out using ANSY...
متن کاملComputed tomography of chiasmal optic neuritis.
Three cases of chiasmal optic neuritis are described with bitemporal visual field loss and enlargement of the optic chiasm as demonstrated by computed tomography (CT). Exploratory craniotomies were performed in two of the patients, but no tumor was found. After corticosteroid treatment, all three patients experienced virtually complete restoration of normal vision. Although the CT presentation ...
