Abstract :
This paper describes the mathematics of acquiring a cone axis through the projection of its conical boundary from X-ray images. A thorough analysis and rigorous proofs are presented for a better understanding of this basic problem. The results can be directly used for the trajectory planning of sliding hip screw and IntraMetullary nail operations by the computer assisted orthopaedics surgical systems
