Radiographic imaging method and device for three-dimensional reconstruction with low dose of irradiation

摘要

The data to construct the three-dimensional model of the human skeleton is gathered by simultaneously gathering (1) two images taken from perpendicular views (10,16), scanning vertically (3) over the required distance along the skeleton. A digital model is constructed from this data and used to generate reference points for each vertebra based on predetermined generic data for the vertebra.
