Disc measurement and nucleus calibration in a smoothened lumbar model increases the accuracy and efficiency of in-silico study

Abstract Backgrounds Finite element analysis (FEA) is an important tool during the spinal biomechanical study. Irregular surfaces in FEA models directly reconstructed based on imaging data may increase the computational burden and decrease the computational credibility. Definitions of the relative n...
