METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING THE SURFACE OF AT LEAST ONE AREA SINGULAR ON A PORTION OF BONE AND CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for automatically identifying the surface of at least one singular area on a portion of a predefined bone. According to the invention, such a method comprises in particular: a step of automatically identifying the contours of said bone portion from a plurality of images representing parallel sections of a measurement volume comprising said portion of bone, obtained by a medical imaging technique; a step of obtaining the three-dimensional position of at least one specific point specific to said surface of said portion of bone from said contours; a step of identifying said surface of said singular zone in a spherical cap centered around said point, of predefined radius and thickness and a function of said point.
