Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to practise 2D and 3D digitizers operation (tpsDig, MicroScribe), practise operating shape analysis software (SigmaScan) and shape analysis programs (TPS, Morphologica, Past, Shape, EFAWin). At the end of this course the student should be able to: perform digitalization of bones and parts of a living human's body; analyze shape using methods of geometrical morphometrics; apply histomorphometric methods; understand and explain the principle and basics of advanced imaging methods.
