Abstract:
The virtual representation of bone tissue is one of the pending challenges of infographics in the field of traumatology. This advance could mean a reduction in the time and effort that is currently used in the analysis of a bank of medical images, as it is done manually. Our proposal aims to lay the foundations of the elements that must be taken into account not only geometrically, but also from a medical point of view. In this article we focus on the segmentation of a bone model, establish the limits for its representation and introduce the main characteristics of the microstructures that form in the bone tissue.
