Dataset of Finite Element Models of Normal and Deformed Thoracolumbar Spine.

ABSTRACT: Adult spine deformity (ASD) is prevalent and leads to a sagittal misalignment in the vertebral column. Computational methods, including Finite Element (FE) Models, have emerged as valuable tools for investigating the causes and treatment of ASD through biomechanical simulations. However, the process of generating personalised FE models is often complex and time-consuming. To address this challenge, we present a dataset of FE models with diverse spine morphologies that statistically represent real geometries from a cohort of patients. These models are generated using EOS images, which are utilized to reconstruct 3D surface spine models. Subsequently, a Statistical Shape Model (SSM) is constructed, enabling the adaptation of a FE hexahedral mesh template for both the bone and soft tissues of
