Musculoskeletal system and artificial replacements
Quantitative anatomy of musculoskeletal system - patient-specific musculoskeletal model
Project description:
3D reconstruction of bony structures from CT images
Flow diagram of computer system
Back muscles - front view
Muscle model of hand
Muscle model of hip joint
The computer system for quantitative determination of musculoskeletal geometry from computer tomography (CT) images has been developed. The computer system processes series of CT images to obtain three-dimensional (3D) model of bony structures where the effective muscle fibres can be interactively defined. Presented computer system has flexible modular structure and is suitable also for educational purposes. System has been used to construct patient-specific model of the hip, spine and hand.
