A Vision-based System for Biomechanical Testing of Articular Cartilage
Werner Trobin, Matthias Rüther, Steven A. Millington, Horst Bischof · 2010
This paper presents a flexible, vision-based test setup to perform 3D measurements of thin, sheet-like structures and indentation trials to obtain geometric properties and stiffness maps of biological soft tissues. The system is utilized for in vitro testing of cartilage-bone plugs to acquire a “gold standard ” which will be used to validate MRI measurements of cartilage properties. 1
