Abstract:
To improve the accuracy of finite element method used in medicine field, it is necessary to build the finite element model including real structural information of tissues in human body. In this study, an edge extracting method was introduced on CT image of human body, and the method of building the two-dimensional finite element model from the extracted edges was then raised. Using the above methods, a finite element model of human body containing real structural information can be successfully made. The methods were used for many CT images of hospitals and tested to be simple, fast and adaptable. The study makes a good foundation for further finite element analysis based on medicine images.
