Ex vivo experiment on vertebral body with defect representing bone metastasis
W. Lokbani, V. Allard, T. Broussolle +7
Osteolytic metastases located in the vertebrae reduce strength and enhance the risk of vertebral fractures. This risk can be predicted by means of validated finite element models,…
Enhanced segmentation of femoral bone metastasis in CT scans of patients using synthetic data generation with 3D diffusion models
Emile Saillard, Aurélie Levillain, David Mitton +4
Purpose: Bone metastasis have a major impact on the quality of life of patients and they are diverse in terms of size and location, making their segmentation complex. Manual segmen…
Inter-laboratory replicability and sensitivity study of a finite element model to quantify human femur failure load: case of metastases
Marc Gardegaront, Amelie Sas, Denis Brizard +7
Metastases increase the risk of fracture when affecting the femur. Consequently, clinicians need to know if the patients femur can withstand the stress of daily activities. The cur…
comparison of two models to predict vertebral failure loads on the same experimental dataset
V. Allard, C. Heidsieck, F. Bermond +7
Clinical use of finite element analysis requires validation and reproducibility studies. The current study compared two models of vertebral bodies including endplates, on the same…
