The Reconstruction
Bones
Tendons
Souce Data = CT scan 
242 slices (0.8mm of separation) each of 512 by 512 sampes regularly distributed on a total areal of 204mm by 204mm 
Source Data = MRI scan 
67 slices (3mm of separation) each of 256 by 256 samples regularly distributed on a total area of 120mm by 120mm. 
Each slice is contoured and the resulting contours are stacked together to determine the solid bone model 
 
 
 
The tendons are obtained as isocontours at isovalue 42 resulting in a model of both skin and tendon 
 
The model must then be segmented so that each bone can be described as an independant structure 
 
The tendons then need to be seperated from the skin 
 
(Partial extraction of the Flexor Digitorum Profundus)
Remaining Work
Complete extraction of tendon data from the tendon and hand model
Combine tendon model with bone model for a complete geometric model
