Segmented Model of the Cervical Spine

Authors: Lina Espinha and Paula Fernandes

Date: April 2009

Description: Segmented model of the cervical spine extracted from CT images. Segmentation is the partitioning of an image volume into non-overlapping voxelized regions. Each region defines the geometric locus of an anatomical structure. As part of the geometric modeling process, segmentation is the turning point in anatomical representation: it establishes the transition from the supportive bi-dimensional image realm (image data) to a fully tri-dimensional domain (mesh data).
