Computations for Orthopedics and Biomechanics (COB) is a research team at the Washington State University Applied Sciences Laboratory on the Health Sciences campus in Spokane. We specialize in modeling and simulation of orthopedic mechanics with particular focus on the knee.
Defining a model and performing simulations is just one stage in a modeling and simulation workflow.
A labelmap of segmented anatomy from MRI that has had morphological closing and median filters applied for smoothing, internal holes filled, and Boolean operations applied to ensure congruency between cartilage and bone.
A high quality tetrahedral mesh generated for all anatomical structures automatically utilizing CGAL.
