Description:

Our research here consists of understanding and visualizing the functionalities of human articulations. In order to achieve this goal, a particular articulation, the hip, has been selected. From MRI data we shall reconstruct: segment bones, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. Biomechanical inter-relationships will also be modeled and the entire structure will be generalized to any individual. Medical doctors will benefit from this technology as they will be able to visualize (in 3D), observe motion and easily diagnose possible problems for the hip of a specific individual.

Format: Slides in pdf-format.
