Abstract
Anatomical models of pregnant women can be used in several applications
such as numerical dosimetry to assess the potential effects of
electromagnetic fields on biological tissues, or medical simulations for
delivery planning.
Recent advances in medical imaging have enabled the generation of
realistic and detailed models of human beings.
This paper describes FEMONUM, a complete methodological framework for
the construction of pregnant woman models based
on medical images and their segmentation. FEMONUM combines
several computer graphics methods, such as surface
reconstruction and physics-based computer animation to model and deform
pregnant women abdomens, to simulate different fetal positions and sizes and also
different morphologies of the mother, represented with a synthetic
woman body envelope. A set of 16 models, anatomically validated by clinical
experts, is presented and is made available online to the scientific
community. These models include detailed information on the utero-fetal
units and cover different gestational stages with various fetal
positions.
