This folder contains geometric models in IGES format for a cadaver knee specimen. The information is used to develop models related to the Open Knee project. For more details on the project and this data, please refer to:

https://simtk.org/home/openknee

The reconstructions are related to the MRI data, which can be found at:

https://simtk.org/websvn/wsvn/openknee/dat/mri/

Geometries are provided in a coordinate system aligned with the first sagittal MR image, see:

https://simtk.org/websvn/wsvn/openknee/dat/mri/sagittal/001.dcm

origin - top-left corner
x - pointing towards right (anterior to posterior)
y - pointing downwards (superior to inferior)
z - pointing inwards (medial to lateral)

Geometry generation is based on manual segmentation conducted by Craig Bennetts of CoBi Core at the Cleveland Clinic.

Notes:

1. Geometry for lateral collateral ligament is an approximation due to its poor visibility
2. All individual tissue geometries are combined in full_knee_for_mesh.igs for meshing purposes
