Dear friends, do you know any source to find the geometry data of human and sheep bones (especially femur and basin for hip joint analysing)?

RE: source for geometry data of human and sheep bones

Once I had to model human skull and I acquired very accurate geometrical info from MRI files. Although MRI files needs to be changed in format and adjusted to your desired level of accuracy (distance between sections) in some software, one of which is "MIMICS" by MATERIALISE company. Probably there are other softwares out there to do the same mediation between MRI equipment and a PC.

RE: source for geometry data of human and sheep bones

There is a pretty good free package I've seen for converting dicom images to a solid model.

Here's the link.

Dear friends, thanks a lot for your valuable answers. I do not have any experience in this field. Could you give me a source for more information about this technique and the usual distance of segments for a 3D model which will be used for finite element analysing?

Jalil
