Customized Hip Implant Design Optimization Service (CHIDOS)
CHIDOS is a patient-specific hip implant design and optimization system for 3D virtual planning and simulation of Total Hip Artroplasty (THA). The system allows ortopedic surgeons to define a patient-specific hip implant from a patient’s 3D CAD models derived from CT DICOM images. The system guides the user to to extract the implant’s geometric design parameters and provides the capability to optimize those parameters through FEA and algorithmic optimization. The implants are 3D printed in Ti-6Al-4V and 316L Stainless Steel.
