ABSTRACT

The LauePt program is a popular and easy-to-use crystallography tool for indexing and simulating X-ray Laue patterns, but its previous versions lack search functions for recognizing Laue patterns taken from crystals with unknown orientations. To overcome this obstacle, a major upgrade of the program, called LauePt4, is presented with three robust search schemes implemented: (i) crystal rotation along a single diffraction vector, (ii) a look-up method to search for reflection pairs matching the interplanar angle of two selected diffraction spots, and (iii) a more efficient look-up scheme to search for reflection triplets matching three interplanar angles. Extensive tests show that all these schemes, together with the convenient graphical user interfaces and highly optimized computing algorithms, are reliable and powerful for recognizing and fitting Laue patterns of any crystal taken under any diffraction geometry.

ABSTRACT

The hip stem design based upon X-ray films requires sufficient information in order to customize for the patient. If the errors are resulted from rotating angles, more X-ray films may carry out the solution. The present study aimed to realize the improvement of multiple X-ray films for hip stem design. Eight X-ray films were taken from a volunteer. The characteristic length of X-ray film was input into cosine function to derive the relative rotating angle of each X-ray film. The combinations of 2, 4, 6, and 8 X-ray films that included true AP view and lateral view were obtained to construct the corresponding stem. CT images were used to construct femur and stem model to verify the rotating angle of femur in each X-ray film. A quantitative comparison was made between the hip stems for the fill ratio, fit gap and contact area. The results showed that the markers on the body surface would result in error and were unable to provide reference to the rotating angle of femur. The contact area and fill ratio of the stems designed by 6 or 8 X-ray films would get closer to that by CT images. It is concluded that the rotation of the femur could be determined from the length of femoral neck as well as the distance between the tips of medial and lateral condyles. The use of 6 or more X-ray films for custom-made hip stem as a source of design is recommended in this study.
