3D display of high resolution vertebral structure images.

A methodology for three-dimensional (3D) representation of vertebral trabecular structures was proposed. A set of X-ray CT images was obtained using a specific high resolution acquisition system. The images were then segmented in order to separate trabecular and cortical bone structures. Finally, the complex 3D surfaces were visualized using a volume rendering technique.
