Development of Subject-Specific Geometric Spine Model through Use of Automated Active Contour Segmentation and Kinematic Constraint-Limited Registration.

This paper describes the development of a patient-specific spine model through use of active contour segmentation and registration of intraoperative imaging of porcine vertebra augmented with kinematic constraints. The geometric active contours are fully automated and lead to a discrete representati...
