Registration

This section describes how the physical femur, tibia, and patella coordinate systems are registered to their digital models. Registration is used to define the osseous coordinate systems with respect to the digital model’s coordinate system. The digial models (usually surfaces) were defined using MR images, therefore the models are defined with respect to the MR image’s coordinate system. The MR image’s coordiante system will be referred to as the image coordinate system, and the digial models are initially defined with respect to this coordiante system.

At the end of the registration procedure, there will be femur, tibia, and patella coordinate systems that are defined with respect to to the image coordinate system.

OpenKnee(s) Registration

Femur

This is a placeholder for the registration methods using OpenKnee(s) data. The first set of OpenKnee(s) data does not include experimental data, therefore no registration of the physical coordinate systems to the digital models is possible.

Tibia

This is a placeholder for the registration methods using OpenKnee(s) data. The first set of OpenKnee(s) data does not include experimental data, therefore no registration of the physical coordinate systems to the digital models is possible.

Patella

This is a placeholder for the registration methods using OpenKnee(s) data. The first set of OpenKnee(s) data does not include experimental data, therefore no registration of the physical coordinate systems to the digital models is possible.
