Processing computer tomography bone data for prosthetic finite element modeling: a technical note

A software scheme is presented to extract the shapes of tibiae and fibulae from amputee computer tomography (CT) data for use in prosthetic finite element modeling. A snake algorithm is implemented to overcome challenges of bone-soft tissue edge detection common in this application. Means to enhance...
