| Source Data: CT scan 242 slices (0.8mm of separation) each of 512 by 512 samples regularly distributed on a total areal of 204mm by 204mm. |
Source Data: MRI scan 67 slices (3mm of separation) each of 256 by 256 samples regularly distributed on a total area of 120mm by 120mm. |
  |
  |
| Each slice is contoured and the resulting contours are stacked together to determine the solid bone model. | The tendons are obtained as isocontours at isovalue 42 resulting in a model of both skin and tendon. |
  |
  |
| The model must then be segmented so that each bone can be described as an independent structure. | The tendons then need to be seperated from the skin. |
