Measurement of femoral head penetration in polyethylene using a 3-dimensional CT-scan technique
BACKGROUND Current techniques for measuring in vivo polyethylene wear suffer from a range of problems, resulting in an unacceptable lack of repeatability and/or insufficient accuracy when they are used to measure the low wear rates associated with new, highly crosslinked polyethylene. We describe an improved CT method for measurement of 3D femoral head penetration in PE acetabular cups that has...
متن کاملEvaluation of Distal Femoral Rotational Alignment with Spiral CT Scan before Total Knee Arthroplasty (A Study in Iranian Population)
Background: Evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative CT scanning. The purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational ...
متن کاملSegmentation of Femoral Head from CT after Femoral Neck Fracture
We present a semi-automatic method for femoral head segmentation from CT dataset based on finding an optimal path through a polar transformation of axial slices. The cost function is a combination of corticallis properties (the directional behavior of 3D gradients and their magnitude in 2D slices, where they form typical ”channels”). The volume is computed using filling and morphological operat...
متن کاملA Nuclear Measurement Technique of Water Penetration in Concrete Barriers
In this paper we propound a nondestructive and noninvasive technique for measuring the thickness of water penetration in a homogeneous slab. The proposed device consists of a 252 Cf spontaneous fission source and a set of 3 He detectors located on the same side of a concrete slab subject to water infiltration. The effectiveness of this technique has been investigated by Monte Carlo simulation...
