Figure 7

The airway and tongue were modelled based on CT images of a patient with Crouzon syndrome. (A) One part with the airway (blue) and tongue (green), and four measurements for evaluating fabrication accuracies, including (a) the inner diameter of the airway, (b) the width of the epiglottis, (c) the length between the epiglottis to the end of airway, and (d) the length of the tongue (connectors to a mandible and cranio-maxilla; yellow). (B) inner structure (brown) and the outer hole of the tongue to mimic the tactile sensing to press the tongue with Macintosh blades and holes at the isometric (upper) and front (lower) views.
