Using the smooth manifolds to capture distance calculations, We demonstrate a method for visualizing inter-bone distances in articular joints. Visualization of inter-bone distances has the potential to characterize 3D structures and spatial relations non-invasively in complex joints. Surface fitting, visualization, biomedical
