Patient-specific articulated digital twins created from single CT scans

Researchers have developed a method to create patient-specific articulated digital twins from a single full-body CT scan. This technique fits a parametric human body model to establish a kinematic scaffold, then binds segmented bones and organs to an anatomy-aware rig. The resulting digital twins can represent anatomical changes due to patient repositioning, maintaining skeletal geometry and radiographic structure across different poses. AI

IMPACT Enables more realistic and dynamic simulation for surgical planning and medical imaging research.
