Abstract
Many applications in medical research and development require virtual three dimensional (3D) models of bones. The current gold standard for the acquisition of such data is Computer Tomography (CT) scanning. Due to the amount of radiation involved, CT scanning is generally limited to the imaging of clinical cases and cadaver specimens [Messmer, 2007].
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is not routinely used for the imaging of bones because of difficulties in precise segmentation between bone and certain soft tissue types as well as higher costs compared to CT. As MRI does not involve ionising radiation it is ideally suited for the imaging of volunteers, who can be recruited according to study specific requirements.
This study aimed to develop a MRI scanning protocol suitable to image the legs of volunteers and to provide an initial validation of the geometrical accuracy of the reconstructed 3D models.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
