Bone surface delineation in ultrasound is of interest due to its potential in diagnosis, surgical
planning, and post-operative follow-up in orthopedics, as well as the potential of using …

Bone surface identification and localization in ultrasound have been widely studied in the
contexts of computer-assisted orthopedic surgeries, trauma diagnosis, and post-operative …

Current practice in orthopedic surgery relies on intraoperative fluoroscopy as the main
imaging modality for localization and visualization of bone tissue, fractures, implants and …

Automatic segmentation of bone surfaces from ultrasound images is of great interest in the
ultrasound-guided computer assisted orthopedic surgery field. These automatic …

For computer-assisted interventions in orthopedic surgery, automatic bone surface
