Abstract

The paper describes a 3D reconstruction protocol starting from 2D scanned images of a third cervical vertebra. The purpose was to create a multipart body who meets the composite bone requirements. A number of necessaries steps were developed and implemented. The result is a multipart solid body characterized by volume, mass, material properties, surface areas and moments of inertia. A solid reconstructed in this way, can be successfully used into realistic mechanical simulations tests
