Abstract
Human knee is one of the most complex joints. Different reasons may lead to knee instability. A personalized mathematical model of the knee may improve both diagnostic procedure and knee surgery outcomes. Such models require accurate geometric representation of bones and attachment sites of ligaments and tendons. This paper addresses automatic segmentation of knee bones and detection of origins and insertions for tendons and ligaments. The approach is based on anatomical features of bones and landmarks of tendons/ligaments attachments on the CT images. It provides a tool for the design of patient-specific geometrical knee models.
