A novel 3D finite element modeling based on medical image for intervertebral disc biomechanical analysis

In order to study the biomechanical mechanism properties of intervertebral disc herniation, combining the CT and MRI data-based anatomical structure of spine. A three-dimensional geometric model of the lumber disk was constructed. Based on the geometric model, a three-dimensional finite element modeling (FEM) for biomechanical analysis has been created. The FEM will represents a promising tool in clinical diagnosis and optimizing individual therapy in the intervertibral disc herniation
