The Virtual Hip: An Anatomically Accurate Finite Element Model Based on the Visible Human Dataset

The purpose of this study is to determine if element decimation of a 3-D anatomical model affects the results of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). FEA has been increasingly applied to the biological and medical sciences. In order for an anatomical model to successfully run in FEA, the 3-D model’s compl...
