Abstract

Biomedical image processing is an emerging field for analyzing medical images to develop models for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Recently with the development in biomechanics, the models developed can be used for mechanical stress and vibrational analysis of human body parts. In this work, computer aided design (CAD) models are developed for a patient specific human elbow using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data using open source software ITK-snap. The 3-D CAD model is developed using segmentation of MRI data using manual method and automatic methods. Different algorithms and parameter variation have been implemented for development of the human elbow model.
