Abstract
Three-dimensional computer models are commonly used to understand and analyze pathological conditions of the spine. Models of the spine are most beneficial when they match each patient’s spinal geometry. Currently, making a model for a specific patient is a long, multi-step process that must be started anew for each person. The goal of this project was to create a parametric model that can be used to instantly generate the spinal geometry of any particular patient based on the input of a few controlling parameters.
