This work investigates capabilities and accuracy of metrological X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) in quantifying wear volumes and characterizing the geometry of prosthetic joint components. Advantages and limitations are determined in comparison with measurements by Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). The work demonstrates that CT is advantageous especially for measuring polymeric prosthetic components.

Abstract
This work investigates capabilities and accuracy of metrological X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) in quantifying wear volumes and characterizing the geometry of prosthetic joint components. Advantages and limitations are determined in comparison with measurements by Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). The work demonstrates that CT is advantageous especially for measuring polymeric prosthetic components.File in questo prodotto:
