Abstract:
Objective To research a fast method on establishment of simplified model of the spine.Methods The 3D geometry of the spine is reconstructed using a multiview radiography reconstruction technique through the two plane X-rays by extracting the spinal anatomy information combined with the statistical geometrical information.Results The entire spine finite element modeling including the thoracic spine(T1-T12),lumbar spine(L1-L5) and the sacrum was reconstructed,and the analysis proved that lateral corrective force can correct scoliosis to a certain extent.Conclusion Because the method needs less time,and causes less radiation to patients,it can be brought much convenience and support to the clinical application.
