Towards an adaptive volume mesh derived from Computed Tomography data
Résumé
This paper presents a single process to create an adaptive volume mesh composed of elements integrated with CT information for finite element modelling of lumbar vertebrae. From the CT images of the lumbar spine, a semi-automatic segmentation using Canny method was implemented to extract the boundaries of the bone which were then used as an input to create the surface mesh of the vertebrae by applying Matching cubes algorithm. Subsequently, the volumetric mesh was automatically generated and CT information was mapped on to the relevant elements.
