shoulder 1.0.1

patient specific anatomic coordinate system generation for shoulder bones

shoulder

This package detects anatomic landmarks on stl files of shoulder bones and also generates patient specific coordinate systems. It is currently implemented for the humerus and will be extended to the glenoid in the future. Landmarks that shoulder can currently identify on the humerus are:

• bicipital groove
• canal
• transepicondylar axis
• anatomic neck

Installation

pip install shoulder

Example

Start by using the example bone stl's located in "tests/test_bones"

# pass stl into Humerus
hum = shoulder.Humerus("tests/test_bones/humerus_left.stl")

# calculate landmarks
hum.canal.axis()
hum.trans_epiconylar.axis()
hum.anatomic_neck.plane()
hum.bicipital_groove.axis()

# apply coordinate sysytem
hum.apply_csys_canal_transepiconylar()

# construct plot from above humeral bone with landmarks and coordinate system
plot = shoulder.Plot(hum)
plot.figure.show()

The output of the plot will appear as shown below with landmarks included and transformed from the original CT coordinate system to a coordainte system defined by the canal and transepicondylar axis.
