Investigating the Effects of Demographics on Shoulder Morphology and Density Using Statistical Shape and Density Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A better understanding of how the shape and density of the shoulder vary among members of a population can help design more effective population-based orthopedic implants. The main objective of this study was to develop ...
Methods for Post Hoc Quantitative Computed Tomography Bone Density Calibration: Phantom-Only and Regression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quantitative computed tomography (qCT) relies on calibrated bone mineral density data. If a calibration phantom is absent from the CT scan, post hoc calibration becomes necessary. Scanning a calibration phantom after-the-fact ...
The Effect of Inhomogeneous Trabecular Stiffness Relationship Selection on Finite Element Outcomes for Shoulder Arthroplasty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An important feature of humeral orthopedic finite element (FE) models is the trabecular stiffness relationship. These relationships depend on the anatomic site from which they are derived; but have not been developed for ...
