Morphometric Maps, Bone Landmarking and Cross Sectional Geometry

Extract cross sections from long bone meshes at specified intervals along the diaphysis. Calculate two and three-dimensional morphometric maps, cross-sectional geometric parameters, and semilandmarks on the periosteal and endosteal contours of each cross section.


morphomap at each section extracts two sets of semilandmarks, cortical thickness, cortical area and the parameters useful for cross-sectional Geometry. morphomap returns also 2D and 3D cortical maps. The morphomap package from a single input (an oriented 3D mesh) is capable to produce the output suitable for thickness geometry, shape analysis and cross-sectional geometry.
