Exploration Of Three-Dimensional Morphometrics Of The Hip Joint And Reconstructive Technologies, Charys M. Martin
Exploration Of Three-Dimensional Morphometrics Of The Hip Joint And Reconstructive Technologies, Charys M. Martin
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation is an exploration of three-dimensional (3D) anatomy using the hip joint as the model of study. Very few studies have taken advantage of 3D modeling to assess the features of commercially available software, or to assess the validity and reliability of 3D morphometrics. This dissertation compared three reconstructive software programs to survey user appreciation concerning how 3D anatomical reconstructive software can be utilized and then established the advantages and limitations of 3D measurements in the hip joint. Three main studies are presented: the first, a comparison of three widely available 3D reconstructive software programs, Amira, OsiriX, and Mimics. …
