Preoperative planning is performed to carefully prepare the surgery and to accurately select the hip implants. The first step of preoperative planning is to calibrate the x-ray image to adjust the magnification factor. A femoral head implant is used as magnification factor reference. Automation is introduced by developing an algorithm to automatically detect this reference object in the image. The algorithm used for performing the automatic detection of the reference object is gradient vector flow (GVF) snake. A study has been performed to compare the newly developed semiautomatic algorithm to the old manual calibration algorithm. The results show a close relation between the two algorithms (less than 1% of average relative difference). It is concluded that the developed semiautomated algorithm can be used as an alternative for performing the manual calibration. © 2007 SCAR (Society for Computer Applications in Radiology).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Gradient vector flow (GVF) snake,Magnification factor,Preoperative planning,Semiautomatic algorithm,Total hip arthroplasty[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Gradient vector flow,Preoperative planning,Snake algorithm,Total hip arthroplasty[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1007/s10278-006-1047-0[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
