Method for reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of an osteo-articular structure of a patient, wherein a) bi-dimensional patient-specific image data () of said structure is provided; (d) a preliminary solution, corresponding to a previously established solution model of the structure, is provided () from a base (), said preliminary solution comprising a priori knowledge of the corresponding structure, previously established from structures of the same type, said preliminary solution comprising surface data describing the coordinates of the surface of the solution model, and bulk data describing at least one characteristic of the inside of the solution model; the preliminary solution is modified () to be brought in concordance with said patient-specific image data.

Osteo-articular structure

Method for reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of a body structure of a subject, said structure comprising a plurality of objects, wherein a database () of the structure is provided, the database comprising means to estimate, from a parameter of any object of the structure, another parameter for an object of the structure, a preliminary solution for a first object (L1) is modified to be brought in concordance with subject-specific data (), a reconstruction of the second object (T12) is obtained based on the modified first object and on the database of structure ().

Method for reconstruction of a three-dimensional model of a body structure

A method of producing a finite-element model of a unique body of complex shape having an outer surface that is known in the form of a cloud of points describing said surface analytically or algebraically in a determined frame of reference, the method comprising the steps of a) using a parameterizable and generic finite-element model made up of simple geometrical volumes and representative of the family to which the unique body belongs, b) adapting said model as a function of parameters describing the unique body that is to be modeled; c) in said frame of reference, adjusting the parameterized generic finite-element model and causing the surface nodes of said parameterized model to correspond to points of the known outer surface of the body by projecting said nodes onto said surface along a direction that is normal to the surface of the generic model, and d) using the nodes of the surface as control points for a three-dimensional interpolation method in order to personalize the internal finite elements of the generic model.

Method of producing a finite-element model of a unique body of complex shape and structure

Method for radiographic imaging, in particular for measuring the bone mineral density of an osseous body, this method involving an operation which consists in determining the value of a composite index using, on the one hand, digitized radiological data, and, on the other hand, a three-dimensional generic model of said osseous body.

Method for absorptiometry radiographic imaging using a three-dimensional generic model

A radiographic imaging method for three-dimensional reconstruction in which the three-dimensional shape of a model representing an object is calculated from a geometrical model of the object that is known a priori, and obtained from a confinement volume of the object estimated from a geometrical pattern visible in two images and from knowledge of the positions of the sources. A geometrical model is used that comprises information making it possible using an estimator for the object to establish a geometrical characteristic for the model representing the object.

Method of radiographic imaging for three-dimensional reconstruction, and a computer program and apparatus for implementing the method

A calibration system is disclosed for a stereoradiographic device having an X-ray source and a vertical X-ray receiver, the calibration system includes a horizontal table which rotates between two reference positions that are separated by 90 degrees in a horizontal plane of the table. A vertical frame is fastened to the horizontal table and is symmetrical with an axis of rotation of the table, the frame accommodates a patient that remains stationary relative to the frame as the table is rotated between its two reference positions wherein corresponding X-ray photographs are taken. At least three markers made of radio-opaque material are firmly attached to the frame, one of the markers represents the origin of orthogonal X,Y and Z axes, a second of the markers is located at a predetermined point along the X-Y axes, the third marker located at a known distance along the Z axis, the markers defining respective distances Lx, Ly or H relative to the origin.
