Abstract:Accurate segmentation of connective soft tissues is still a challenging task, which hinders the generation of corresponding geometric models for biomechanical computations. Alternatively, one could predict ligament insertion sites and then approximate the shapes, based on anatomical knowledge and morphological studies. Here, we describe a corresponding integrated framework for the automatic modelling of human musculoskeletal ligaments. We combine statistical shape modelling with geometric algorithms to automat… Show more
