A6: Statistical Shape Modeling and 2D-3D Reconstruction
Statistical shape analysis is an important tool for understanding anatomical structures from medical images. Statistical shape models give efficient parameterization of the shape variations found in a collection of sample models of a given population. Model-based approaches are popular due to their ability to robustly represent objects. In the last ten years, constructing a patient-specific shape model from a limited number of calibrated x-ray images has drawn more and more attentions. Among possible applications, the need for CT/MRI data to gather bone morphological information can be eliminated, pathologies can be automatically detected, and structural biomechanical behavior of human structures can be efficiently incorporated in surgical planning and simulation.
The aim of the workshop is to introduce and present statistical shape modeling and 2D-3D reconstruction to researchers working in Computer Assisted Orthopedic Surgery (CAOS) and related topics. The workshop will focus on two main aspects: statistical shape models and their applications, and the 2D-3D reconstruction algorithms and their applications to orthopaedic research and intervention.
The workshop will be presented by a varied list of internationally renowned speakers working actively on the topics of statistical shape modeling and 2D-3D reconstruction. The workshop aims at illuminating not only the methodologies but also the practical aspects of these technologies.
