초록

본 연구는 3차원 프린터를 이용한 보청기 이어 쉘 제작기법에서 보청기 이어 쉘 제작에 필요한 모델링 구조를 DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) 영상에 의한 새로운 방법으로 제시하고자 하였다. 실험방법은 DICOM 볼륨 영상에서 임계치 값을 이용한 3차원 외이도를 추출하여 3차원 프린터가 인식할 수 있는 표준 형식의 STL(STereoLithography) 파일로 모델링 표면구조를 비교하였다. 이러한 3차원 모델링은 기존의 귓본 제작 후 3차원 스캐너에 의한 인접한 등치선 사이를 3차원 표면조각들로 채워 모델링 구조를 표현한 방법들로서 본 연구에서도 DICOM 영상에 의한 삼각형 표면구조를 동일하게 만들 수 있었다. 이는 DICOM 영상에 의한 모델링 표면구조가 기존 3차원 프린터가 인식할 수 있는 동일한 환경을 제공해 최종적으로 보청기 이어 쉘 형상을 출력 할 수 있음을 나타냈다.

This study aimed to suggest a novel method of modeling a hearing aid ear shell based on Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) in the hearing aid ear shell manufacturing method using a 3D printer. In the experiment, a 3D external auditory meatus was extracted by using the critical values in the DICOM volume images, and the modeling surface structures were compared in standard type STL (STereoLithography) files which could be recognized by a 3D printer. In this 3D modeling method, a conventional ear model was prepared, and the gaps between adjacent isograms produced by a 3D scanner were filled with 3D surface fragments to express the modeling structure. In this study, the same type of triangular surface structures were prepared by using the DICOM images. The result showed that the modeling surface structure based on the DICOM images provide the same environment that the conventional 3D printers may recognize, eventually enabling to print out the hearing aid ear shell shape.
