Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is an anatomical ontology which can be presented as the most elaborated computer-based knowledge source of anatomy. Nevertheless FMA can not be used to create mechanical models of anatomy. My Corporis Fabrica (myCF) extends FMA to provide everything we need to build patient-specific mechanical model.
Ontology modeling principles of FMA has been used in myCF to ensure consistency of the representation. Mechanical parameters (stiffness, density...) and functional informations (stability, motion, mobility...) have been added. The most important contribution of myCF is to link canonical anatomical knowledge to patient-specif data. MyCF adds mechanical parameters to the segmented anatomical entities (medical imaging segmentation) and adds non-visible anatomical entities (as ligaments or fascia) to the generated models . The demonstration is made on the knee joint.
