Abstract
A data processing method performed by a computer (2) for determining the structure of a medical implant (12; 18; 20; 22) which is to replace removed tissue in a patient's body, comprising the steps of:—acquiring a 3D dataset which represents remaining tissue (10; 17) which at least partly surrounded the removed tissue before the latter was removed;—determining the required contour of the implant (12; 18; 20; 22) from the 3D dataset;—simulating forces exerted by the remaining tissue (10; 17) on the contour of the implant (12; 18; 20;22); and—determining a structure dataset which represents the structure of the implant (12; 18; 20; 22) such that the implant (12; 18; 20; 22) has the required contour and can absorb the simulated forces.
