3D reconstruction of a spinal motion segment from 2D medical images: objective quantification of the geometric accuracy of the FE mesh generation procedure

The Finite Element (FE) Analysis is an essential tool to study the biomechanical behaviour of the spine, and particularly of the intervertebral disc (IVD). The 3D reconstruction of a patient-oriented IVD has numerous obstacles. Difficulties arise mainly due to the complexity and dimensions of the IV...
