  Vertebral morphometry is important for spinal analysis, diseases diagnosis and improved implant designs. New technologies available allow us to develop a simple and efficient process of obtaining accurate data of threedimensional (3D) vertebral geometry to create a wide and comprehensive database of vertebral dimension for further research. The primary aim of this study is to introduce a simple and precise technique of vertebral dimension measurement. The technique involves the segmentation of CT scans of a Caucasian male cadaver’s head and torso specimen to reconstruct 3D images of C1-T3 using 3D imaging processing software (ScanIP Academic, Synopsys Inc.), and 3D modelling software (ANSYS SpaceClaim). A systematic way of defining specific Cartesian coordinate system is done on all reconstructed vertebrae’ images and various standard vertebral parameters are det.. Read More»
