Abstract
This study focuses on modeling the bone anatomy of the female knee using Computed Tomography (CT) scan data and advanced software tools Materialize Mimics and Geomagic Wrap. By processing radiological images from the Visible Human Project dataset, a comprehensive workflow was established to create detailed 3D models of the patella, femur, tibia, and fibula. Key steps included extracting image slices, creating masks to isolate individual bones, and utilizing precise cleaning and surfacing techniques to refine geometry. Challenges included handling complex bone shapes and ensuring model accuracy for finite element analysis. The process underscores the utility of integrating software tools for medical modeling and lays a foundation for future advancements in personalized healthcare. Additionally, an attempt is made to model the cancellous bone in each of the mentioned bones.
