Bone graft harvested from the olecranon—an anatomic study
Background: Bone grafts are widely used in orthopedic surgeries. Although the conventional iliac crest graft is still the largest source of cancellous and cortical-cancellous bone grafts, it may require a new surgical field and additional anesthesia.

Training models of anatomic shape variability [PDF]
Learning probability distributions of the shape of anatomic structures requires fitting shape representations to human expert segmentations from training sets of medical images. The quality of statistical segmentation and registration methods is directly related to the quality of this initial shape fitting, yet the subject is largely overlooked or ...

Nonparametric joint shape learning for customized shape modeling [PDF]
We present a shape optimization approach to compute patient-specific models in customized prototyping applications. We design a coupled shape prior to model the transformation between a related pair of surfaces, using a nonparametric joint probability ...
