Endocast rendering and volume estimation: A virtual endocast of MLDG 1704 was generated from computed tomography (CT) data in Mimics (Ver. 13.02) by: Segmenting out extraneous material and generating a mask for MLDG 1704,Generating a cutting plane and converting this mask into a 3D object,Positioning the 3D object such that it closed the open region of the cranium,Generating a mask from the repositioned 3D of the cutting plane,Combining the mask of MLDG 1704 with that of the cutting plane,Using the ‘cavity fill’ tool to create a partial endocast from this combined mask,A 3D surface mesh was then generated from this mask of the endocast and imported into Strand7 (ver. 2.4), andA solid mesh of the partial endocast was then created in Strand7 and the volume taken from the model summary.
