title: 3D reconstruction of the pelvis from bi-planar radiography.
abstract: 3D personalized models are more and more requested for clinical and biomechanical studies. Techniques based on bi-planar X-rays present the advantage of a low radiation dose for the patient. However, up to now, such techniques have shown limited accuracy in the case of pelvis reconstruction. This study proposes and validates a method providing accurate 3D personalized model of the pelvis from bi-planar X-rays. The algorithm is based on the fast computation of an initial solution followed by local deformations based on 2D anatomical points and contours that are digitized in both radiographs. Results were close to CT-scan reconstructions (mean difference 1.6 mm and differences under 4.3 mm for 95% of the points). Moreover, 3D morphometry of the pelvis could be obtained with an accuracy of 5%. This technique provides 3D patient specific model with a low radiation dose.
