  • Segmenting Tibia Fracture via Surface Geometry (Image provided by Peter Karasev)


Key Investigators

  • UMIT: Karl Fritscher
  • Georgia Tech: Peter Karasev
  • SPL: Ron Kikinis


Objective

Fracture classification is of essential importance

  • as a treatment guide
  • to assist with prognosis
  • to speak a common language with others in order to compare results

Unfortunately the interobserver variability concerning the classification of different fractures is rather high [1]. Consequently (semi)-automatic methods to classify fractures according to established fracture classification systems, could be a helpful aid for an objective and consistent classification of fractures.


Approach, Plan

During the project week a first brainstorming session about potential appraoches for (automatic) fracture classification based on geometric surface properties [2] will be discussed.

Progress

This project is still in its planning phase!
