Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Using computer technology can realize the orthopedic operation simulation based on measurement and analysis of patients diagnosed image, in order to determine the validity of surgery.
OBJECTIVE: To design a set of long bone and bone-mode auto-matching system based on computer image processing technology.
METHODS: Through the analysis on clinical pictures of the long bone, the exact image datum of bone-mode was obtained. Based on the datum, the bone-mode was searched from the database which matched with the skeletal, and automatic simulation of matching was performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In a very short period of time, the system can find a suitable bone-mode which can match the bone. Results demonstrate that the system could improve the efficiency of matching, as well as the success rate. It could reduce the surgery time and suffering of the patents.
