Fitting spheres to the femoral heads to allow for calculation of distance between centers
Features and Benefits:
- New set of tools to allow for the creation and fitting of shapes
- Fit planes, spheres, cylinders (and many more) to your segmentation
- New surface painting selection tools to easily and quickly identify regions of interest for fitting
- Obtain statistics and measurements on each shape or between shapes (e.g. angle between two planes)
- Life science example application: Centre of a femoral head (by sphere measurement)
- Other example application: Measuring diameters of holes in industrial data.
Snap Registration and Surface Deviation Analysis
The Snap tool offers an automatic alternative for registration of alike surfaces. The Surface deviation tool allows comparison of a test surface to a reference surface for deviation analysis. Alongside statistical values relating to the deviation, a color mapping is rendered in the 3D view to illustrate the distribution. This tool may typically be used in an industrial setting to compare the surface of a scanned manufactured part to its original CAD model, for example to evaluate manufacturing tolerances, but could equally be used in a medical setting to evaluate tumor growth over time.
