h2. {color:blue}{*}X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) is an x-ray imaging and computational process that produces precise and accurate 3D movies of skeletal movement.*{color}&nbsp;

h3. {color:blue}There are seven steps in the marker-based XROMM workflow:{color}

h3. 1) Implant radiopaque bone markers

h3. 2) Record biplanar x-ray videos of movement

* For Brown Users: [Getting trained and certified to use x-ray machines|Getting certified to use x-ray equipment] and [Operating C-arm x-ray machines during data collection|C-arm fluoroscope operating instructions]

h3. 3) Analyze x-ray videos to extract XYZ coordinates of radiopaque markers

* [Digitizing x-ray movies using the MATLAB XrayProject.mat procedure|MATLAB XrayProject digitizing instructions]. (MATLAB scripts written by Ty Hedrick and Dave Baier, and modified and updated by Loretta Reiss)

h3. 4) Create 3D  polygonal bone surface models

h3. 5) Measure XYZ coordinates of markers relative to polygonal bone models

* [Instructions|Create a Setup Scene in Maya] for this step are available if you are working with models from CT scans. Laser scan procedures are different and instructions are not yet available.
* For CT models, this step is done in Maya using the [XROMM Maya Tools|Download and Install Maya MEL scripts]

h3. 6) Calculate rigid body kinematics from XYZ marker positions

* [Calculate Rigid Body Motion in Matlab]

h3. 7) Produce XROMM animations in Autodesk Maya

* [Maya Magic: Creating and analyzing XROMM animations using MATLAB and Autodesk Maya|Importing models into Maya and working with models]

h4. \* Note: If you want to remove fluoroscope distortion from x-ray movies (i.e. undistort or correct the movies), use [X-rayProject version 2 or later|X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM)^XrayProject-2.0.zip]. We are no longer updating VideoCorrect or FluoroCorrect MATLAB programs. Undistorting a video is a two-step process: 1. [Create an \*UNDTFORM file|Creating an *UNDTFORM file] and 2.
