How Analyze was Used
 “Once imaging data were acquired, the sphere points were localized in the LRS scan using a least squares sphere fitting method described by Ahn et al. [2001] and the sphere centroids were computed in the CT image volume using a region growing algorithm implemented within the ANALYZE software package (ANALYZE AVW Version 6.0).”
