Reverse engineering of human bones by using method of anatomical features

Abstract In this paper a new method of anatomical features (MAF) for the creation of 3D geometrical models of human bones (polygonal, surface and solid) and parametric point models (predictive bone models) is presented. The main benefit of the MAF application comes from its capability to create a complete geometrical model even if a part of bone is missing or only a single X-ray image is available. The testing of MAF for twenty femur samples and ten tibia samples have shown that the created bone and bone region models are characterized by a good level of anatomical and morphometric accuracy, that is, they are within the required limits defined by orthopaedic surgeons.
