Abstract :
We present an approach to use high level data from hand X-Rays in postero-anterior (PA) view for synthesizing the animation and deformation of 3D hand models. We discuss our approach to model muskuloskeletal deformations caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and show how this could be used to animate progressions 1 of RA from early to late stage. We also discuss a potential use case of our method as a means to visualize damage due to RA as a function of time and treatment.
