Some past endeavours...





For my MSc project (also at Leeds), I developed a VTK-based tool to examine consecutive sections of bone data, from a key point on the human shoulder blade (as above). When injured, one way to repair this region is to use artificial plates, which must be held in place by screws. Finding the strongest place in trabecular ('spongey') bone to insert such screws is not easy. This approach was essentially visualization-based, with some analysis of the morphology, all of which means I can include some rather nice images here (from bovine micro-ct data):

If you want to know more, please contact me. This stuff is a little out of date though: there is a lot more going on with respect to osteoporosis and micro-CT research these days.
