Abstract :
Contour finding on femoral computed tomography (CT) images is discussed. In connection with a method using CT-image processing, computer aided design (CAD) and computer-numerical control production, contour finding allows the design and manufacture of individual prostheses. The method is demonstrated in the field of hip surgery
