Images from the Phase 1 project (p.1 of 2)
Images of micro CT, micro MR, and microground specimens. Movies are on page 2. CMC=carpometacarpal joint = trapezial-metacarpal joint.
   

high resolution CT scan of the hand (150 microns/slice)
Micro-ground image of thumb, which is digitally rendered in the oblique plane.
Side by side comparison of micro-ground image and CT surface rendering.
Zoom of CT model, sliced thru arthritic CMC joint. Trabecular detail well seen.
Interactive surface models from CT scans. Bones can be turned off or manipulated
Close-up of the arthritic trapezium and trapezoid.
High resolution axial T1 of wrist; trapezium is bone at the right end.
Combining T1, T2, & FSE MR using color histograms shows tissue differences.
MRI color enhancement with different combinations highlights anatomical detail
Side by side of high res CT and colorized MR in similar plane.
1st attempt at segmenting CMC joint from MR data. Arthritis complicates process.
