Atlas-based Recognition of Anatomical Structures and Landmarks and the Automatic Computation of Orthopedic Parameters

OBJECTIVE: This paper describes methods for the automatic atlas-based segmentation of bone structures of the hip, the automatic detection of anatomical point landmarks and the computation of orthopedic parameters to avoid the interactive, time-consuming pre-processing steps for the virtual planning of hip operations. METHODS: Based on the CT data of the Visible Human Data Sets, two three-dimensional atlases of the human pelvis have been built...
