Correlations between morphology and lifestyle of extant taxa are useful for predicting lifestyles of extinct relatives. Here, we infer the locomotor behaviour of from the middle Oligocene and from the lower Miocene of France using their femoral mor...
BACKGROUND: Optimal implant position and alignment remains a controversial, yet critical topic in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Future study of ideal implant position will require the ability to efficiently measure component positions at sca...

PURPOSE: Statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely used for morphological assessment of anatomical structures. However, a key limitation is the need for a clear relationship between the model's shape coefficients and clinically relevant anatomical p...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with metastatic bone disease are at risk of pathological femoral fractures and may require prophylactic surgical fixation. Current clinical decision support tools often overestimate fracture risk, leading to overtre...
This study presents the development of a deep learning-based two-stage network designed for the efficient and precise segmentation of the femur in full lower limb CT images. The proposed network incorporates a dual-phase approach: rapid delineation o...

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) induces temporal alterations in bone structure, such as osteolytic bone lesions, which are challenging to identify through manual image interpretation. The large variation in radiologists' assessments, even at expert...
Analyzing anatomic shapes of tissues and organs is pivotal for accurate disease diagnostics and clinical decision-making. One prominent disease that depends on anatomic shape analysis is osteoarthritis, which affects 30 million Americans. To advance ...
Finite element analysis (FEA), a biomechanical simulation technique capable of providing direct mechanical visualization for CT-based digital models, has been extensively applied to fossil image datasets to address key evolutionary questions in paleo...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To establish an automated osteoporosis detection model based on low-dose abdominal CT (LDCT). This model combined a deep learning-based automatic segmentation of the proximal femur with a radiomics-based bone status classifi...
