Three Dimensional Deformable Modeling Of The Spine, Rania Atef
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this work is the development of a 3D deformable model of the spinal lumbar region. The data for the spine comes from the National Library of Medicine website (NLM). The 3D model uses several NURBS patches as modeling primitives. This work is part of a larger system aimed at building a 3D surgical simulator coupled with a force - feedback.PHANToM robot in a virtual reality CA VE system.
The input to this system is a set of two-dimensional CT images. They are processed and edge detected to produce a set of contoured images containing the vertebral data. …

Human spine modeling started gaining its popularity in world war II for military purposes as a result of studying the phenomenon of pilot spine cracking during ejection. It started with simple beam modeling and continued to get more complicated and realistic. Modeling the spine is a challenging problem because of its detailed anatomical structure, the motion of soft and bone tissues and the deformations that occur during different loads. Realistic spine modeling is expected to have a significant impact in a world where spinal injuries and deformities account for a large percentage of all injuries. In this research, a spinal …
