Implants for surgery — Orthopaedic joint prosthesis — Part 1: Procedure for producing parametric 3D bone models from CT data of the knee

ISO 19233-1:2017 provides requirements for capturing necessary bone geometries, when using a medical X-ray computed tomography apparatus, to provide the information for applications such as preoperative planning, surgical navigation, robotic surgeries, patient matched instruments and personalized total knee joint prosthesis. The conditions to scan images of bones and the conditions to reconstruct three-dimensional bone models are provided. NOTE Requirements for the competence of testing laboratories appropriate to help to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the computational measurements can be found in ISO/IEC 17025.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
In accordance with its widespread use of medical X-ray computed tomography apparatus, three-
dimensional (3D) bone models reconstructed from digital tomographic images have been widely used
for various applications such as preoperative planning, surgical navigation, robotic surgeries, patient
matched instruments and personalized total knee joint prosthesis. However, the conditions of taking
tomographic images are different among hospitals and not internationally unified. To measure bones
accurately, precise 3D bone models reconstructed from tomographic images should be used. On the
other hand, since conditions of this reconstruction process are left up to operators’ and/or medical
institutions’ discretion, this document provides a standard way of reconstructing 3D bone models.
