Summary

Automatic Translation

This paper outlines automated processes for nonhuman primate neurosurgical planning based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These techniques use procedural steps in programming and design platforms to support customized implant design for NHPs. The validity of each component can then be confirmed using three-dimensional (3D) printed life-size anatomical models.
