Abstract

Planar radiographs still are the gold standard for the measurement of the skeletal weight-bearing shape and posture. In this paper, we propose to use an as-rigid-as-possible deformation approach based on moving least squares to obtain 3D personalized bone models from planar x-ray images. Our prototype implementation is capable of performing interactive rate shape editing. The biplane reconstructions of both femur and vertebrae show a good accuracy when compared to CT-scan.
