Labeling was done using the quick selection tool in Photoshop. During the labeling phase, broken bones were excluded from the dataset. This decision was made because the goal of this project was to ...
We propose a novel fully automatic three-label bone segmentation approach applied to knee segmentation (femur and tibia) from T1 and T2* magnetic resonance (MR) images. The three-label segmentation ...
Modeling of cortical bone response and failure is critical for the prediction of Crash Induced Injuries (CII) using advanced finite element (FE) Human Body Models (HBM). Although cortical bone is ...
For bone piece surface extraction and femur surface segmentation, the prediction accuracy was improved by 4.25% after optimizing the graph-cutting algorithm. The accuracy of extracting femur surface ...
The femur bone is over six feet long and is thought to have belonged to a sauropod – a subgroup of herbivorous, long-necked and four-legged dinosaurs common in the Jurassic era.
