3D femur model reconstruction from biplane X-ray images: a novel method based on Laplacian surface deformation
Conventional methods for 3D bone model reconstruction from CT scans can require high-radiation dose, cost and time. A 3D model generated from 2D X-ray images may be a useful alternative. Reconfiguring a 3D template surface mesh model to match bone shape in orthogonal radiographs is a common technique for 3D reconstruction. A computationally efficient 3D bone modeling algorithm was developed and tested.
