T1 Volume mesh generation and finite element analysis of trabecular bone magnetic resonance images
SP 1603
OP 1606
AB In order to help the assessment of trabecular bone diseases and complement dual X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA) in diagnosis process, it is needed an accurate mechanical characterization of trabecular bone structure to estimate the risk of fracture and evaluate micro-architecture deterioration. As Finite Element modeling has become a well-established method for analysis of complex structures, an algorithm has been developed to build a Finite Element mesh from three-dimensional reconstruction information in voxels. Generated mesh is loaded in a finite element analysis software in order to simulate micro-architecture mechanical behavior under compression conditions. Most part of related researches have been based on ex vivo micro-computed tomography (muCT) scans. This study uses three-dimensional trabecular bone reconstructions from high resolution magnetic resonance images acquired in vivo.
