Short-term variability of proximal femur shape in anteroposterior pelvic radiographs
Anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs only give a 2D projection of what is a 3D shape. Depending on the position of the patient while the radiograph is taken, the 2D projection of the shape may vary. This paper investigates the short-term variability of projected proximal femur shape using AP pelvic radiographs. We train a statistical shape model of the proximal femur based on a set of 87 rad...
متن کاملAnteroposterior radiographs of the osteoarthritic knee.
Destruction of the articular cartilage is the first change seen on gross examination of the knee in osteoarthritis. Weight-bearing radiographs are conventionally taken with the knee in full extension. Biomechanical studies have shown, however, that the major contact stresses in the femorotibial articulation occur when the knee is flexed about 28 degrees. Arthroscopy has confirmed that cartilage...
متن کاملAutomated assessment of polyethylene wear in cemented acetabular components using anteroposterior radiographs of total hip replacements
Polyethylene wear in the acetabular components of hip prostheses is implicated in loosening and failure. Radiographic measurement of wear is used to identify patients at risk and to assess prosthesis designs. This paper focuses on analysis of prostheses with cemented acetabular cups from anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. The articular surface of the femoral head and the acetabular rim marker ar...
متن کاملAutomated Assessment of Acetabular Wear From Anteroposterior Radiographs using Active Ellipses
Acetabular wear is the major cause of aseptic loosening of total hip replacements, leading to costly revision surgery and patient discomfort. To measure acetabular wear from radiographs manually is a labour-intensive task and most of the current computerised methods either do little to alleviate this problem or require costly equipment that prevents use in standard clinical practice. The develo...
متن کاملHow powerful are the DDH hard groups?
The question whether Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) can be based on the Decisional DiffieHellman (DDH) assumption is one of the most prominent questions in Cryptography related to DDH. We study limitations on the use of the DDH assumption in cryptographic constructions, and show that it is impossible to construct a secure Identity-Based Encryption system using, in a black box way, only the DDH...
