Fig. 1 Finding the Temporalis muscle region on 3D head models.

Course/Project description

Temporalis muscles are interesting for different eating monitoring purposes. Compared to medical imaging methods, 3D scanning of the head is much affordable and usually less intrusive. Locating muscles on 3D scanned head model is an explorative and challenging topic. In the project, we aim at finding the locations of Temporalis muscles by comparing 3D head models. The located region can guide chewing-monitoring sensor positioning.

 

Learning objectives

  • Anatomy and functionality of the mastication muscles
