Wrist injuries might cause abnormal kinematics of the wrist joint (carpal instability), which progress to osteoarthritis if left untreated. With dynamic CT imaging it is possible to non-invasively evaluate this carpal instability. During the scan acquisition, a sequence of 3C CT scans is obtained whilst the wrist is in motion. In total one 4DCT scan consists of somewhere between 100-200 3D CT scans. Due to the large amount of data, manual assessment of these scans is not feasible in clinical practice.  Therefor our team focusses on automatically extraction a motion analysis of the wrist from these 4DCT scans. This project was originally initiated by the Plastic and reconstructive surgery department of the RadboudUMC.
