Close collaboration between multidisciplinary specialists (physicists, biomecanical engineers,
medical radiologists and pediatric orthopedic surgeons) has led to the development of a …

The main objective of this study is to design a three-dimensional geometrical and mechanical
finite element model of the lumbar spine. The model's geometry is constructed using six …

Background: There is an increasing recognition of the clinical importance of the sagittal
plane alignment of the spine. A prospective study of several radiographic parameters of the …

Study Design. This is a prospective radiographic and force plate analysis involving adult
volunteer and patients with scoliosis. Objective. To assess accurately the center of pressure in …

Study Design. Prospective radiographic and forceplate analysis in adult volunteers. Objective.

Study Design. Prospective study of 131 patients and volunteers recruited for an analysis of
spinal alignment and gravity line (GL) assessment by force plate analysis. Objective. To …

Reconstruction methods from biplanar X-rays provide 3D analysis of spinal deformities for
patients in standing position with a low radiation dose. However, such methods require an …

Objective. To describe and evaluate a fast accurate stereoradiographic 3D-reconstruction
method of the spine. Background. Stereoradiographic methods based on anatomical …

We propose a new 3D/2D registration method for vertebrae of the scoliotic spine, using two
conventional radiographic views (postero-anterior and lateral), and a priori global knowledge …

Introduction In assessing cervical fractures of the proximal femur, this in vitro quantitative
computed tomography (QCT) study had three objectives: to compare QCT to dual-energy X-ray …
