Hip joint center location by fitting conchoid shape to the acetabular rim region of MR Images MyungJin Kang MIRALab, CUI, University of Geneva, 24 rue du General-Dufour, Geneva, Switzerland center of rotation by fitting a sphere to paths followed by a Abstract—This paper proposes a hip joint center (HJC) femur-fixed point as it is moved about the hip joint. location method based on the approximating of the acetabulum The center of this sphere is the estimated hip joint with a conchoid shape to acetabular rim in MR Images. As the human hip joint is not a perfect sphere but it is close to a center. These studies have been essentially considering that conchoid shape, the accurate location of the HJC cannot be the femoral head shape is a perfect sphere. It is clear from computed as the center of a sphere. By approximating the daily clinical information that the femoral head is not a acetabulum with a conchoid shape, it is possible to compensate sphere and that this approximation is not valid for the a possible hip joint center location error due to the inaccuracy purpose of understanding the origins of osteoarthritis. of 3D surface models for using functional method to calculate This paper proposes the HJC location method by fitting HJC location. For the hip joint surgery planning, it is necessary to assess patients’ hip range of motions based on the
