3D display of high resolution vertebral structure images.
In this paper we present a methodology for three-dimensional representation of vertebral structures. A set of X-ray CT images is obtained on a specific high resolution acquisition system. The images are then segmented in order to separate trabecular and cortical structures. Finally, the complex 3D surfaces are visualized using a volume rendering technique.
