Abstract :
Accurate three-dimensional (3D) models of lumbar vertebrae can enable image-based 3D kinematic analysis. The common approach to derive 3D models is by direct segmentation of CT or MRI datasets. However, these have the disadvantages that they are expensive, time-consuming and/or induce high-radiation doses to the patient. In this paper, we present a technique to reconstruct a scaled 3D lumbar vertebral model from a single two-dimensional (2D) lateral fluoroscopic image and a statistical shape model of the lumbar vertebrae. Four cadaveric lumbar spine segments (totally twelve lumbar vertebrae) were used to validate the technique. To evaluate the reconstruction accuracy, the surface models reconstructed from the lateral fluoroscopic images were compared to the associated ground truth data derived from a 3D CT-scan reconstruction technique. For each case, a surface-based matching was first used to recover the scale and the rigid transformation between the reconstructed surface models and the ground truth model before the distances between the two discrete surface models were computed. An average error of 1.0 mm was found when the present technique was used to reconstruct the surface models of all twelve lumbar vertebrae.
