modenaxe/msk-STAPLE
Jul 2019 - Dec 2021
STAPLE (Shared Tools for Automatic Personalised Lower Extremity modelling) consists of a collection of methods for generating skeletal models from three-dimensional bone geometries, usually segmented from medical images. The methods are currently being expanded to create complete musculoskeletal models.
