Abstract

In this study, a non-contact optical three-dimensional digitization technique is described to account for area measurement problems related to soft tissue. The technique is used to generate digitized models of human knee ligaments (collateral and cruciate ligament bundles). Cross-sectional area of knee ligaments is determined by applying Green's theorem on data obtained from the digitized models. The surface concavity features of different ligaments shown in this study signify the extent of approximation done by projection based methods. The study also reports the variation in cross-sectional shape of a ligament along its long axis, indicating the importance of deciding the appropriate cross section for stress calculation measurements.
