Souce Data = CT scan
242 slices (0.8mm of separation) each of 512 by 512 sampes regularly
distributed on a total areal of 204mm by 204mm
  |
Source Data = MRI scan
67 slices (3mm of separation) each of 256 by 256 samples regularly
distributed on a total area of 120mm by 120mm.
  |
Each slice is contoured and the resulting contours are stacked together
to determine the solid bone model
|
The tendons are obtained as isocontours at isovalue 42 resulting in
a model of both skin and tendon
 |
|
The model must then be segmented so that each bone
can be described as an independant structure
|
The tendons then need to be seperated from the skin

(Partial extraction of the Flexor Digitorum Profundus) |

|
Remaining Work
|
|
Complete extraction of tendon data from the tendon
and hand model |
|
|
Combine tendon model with bone model for a complete
geometric model |
