2. Fig. 1
(A) A reconstructed CT slice taken near the center of the phantom is shown. The white circles are cross sections of the Delrin rods, which are parallel to each other. Delrin is a bone surrogate material. The image appears blurred at the bone-soft tissue interfaces because of a 3-mm collimation of the radiograph source. This corresponds to a top view of the phantom as it was scanned in the CT scanner. (B) The soft-tissue portion of the phantom is shown as a 3-dimensional shaded model from the CAD design. The Delrin rods were press fit into the holes to complete the phantom. All measurements are in millimeters.

3. Fig. 2
A 3-dimensional volumetric rendering of a cadaver foot. The small bumps in the image are the radiopaque markers attached to the surface of the skin. A cut-away of the foot reveals the underlying tissues. A volumetric model can be sliced in any direction to show tissues of interest.

4. Fig. 3
The cadaver feet were sectioned through 3 markers attached at the forefoot and the corresponding plane was exposed. Five measurements, m1 to m5, were recorded. A corresponding image was reconstructed from the CT data and similar measurements were recorded.

5. Fig. 4
A surface model, generated from CT data, was used to build a physical replica of a foot (left). The cadaver foot is shown for comparison (right). The small bumps on the physical replica correspond to 1.5-mm lead spheric markers that were attached to the cadaver foot.
