Finite element analysis (FEA) based on CT datasets of the spine or hip or on high-resolution
peripheral CT datasets of the distal forearm or tibia is now widely used in research and …

This paper proposes methods and technologies that advance the state of the art for
modelling the musculoskeletal system across the spatial and temporal scales; and storing …

This paper deals with a new anisotropic discrete dual-tree wavelet transform (ADDTWT) to
characterize the anisotropy of bone texture. More specifically, we propose to extend the …

The aim of this study was to assess a virtual biomechanics testing approach purely based on
microcomputed tomography (microCT or µCT) data, providing non-invasive methods for …

Image-based modeling is a popular approach to perform patient-specific biomechanical
simulations. Accurate modeling is critical for orthopedic application to evaluate implant …

The apparent stiffness tensor is an important mechanical parameter for characterizing
trabecular bone. Previous studies have modeled this parameter as a function of mechanical …

Including structural information of trabecular bone improves the prediction of bone strength
and fracture risk. However, this information is available in clinical CT scans, only for …

Low trauma fractures are amongst the most frequently encountered problems in the clinical
assessment and treatment of bones, with dramatic health consequences for individuals and …

The orientation of a rigid object can be described by a rotation that transforms it into a
standard position. For a symmetrical object the rotation is known only up to multiplication by …

Statistical shape modeling (SSM) is a widely popular framework in cardiac image analysis,
especially for image segmentation and computer-aided diagnosis. However, the …
