Fig. 9 Solid model of IVD-23: a side view and b top view
Fig. 10 CAD models of
lumbar sections L2-L4
Separate assembly of lumbar sections L2-L4 was carried out in SolidWorks 2014 as
depicted in Fig. 10. Intact model of vertebrae (L2, L3 and L4) consists of cancellous enclosed with cortical bone, whereas IVD (IVD-23 and IVD-34) possesses the
nucleus pulposus surrounded by annulus fibrosus.
3 Conclusion
In the present work, authors considered the CT images of lumbar sections L1-L5
for generation of surface model in the form of point cloud (L2-L4) by utilizing the
software MIMICS 17.0. Further, the CAD software SolidWorks was also used to
develop the solid model of lumbar segments (L2-L4, IVD 23 and IVD 34). Authors
