The use of joint vertebra-rib atlases produced a statistically significant increase in the Dice coefficient from 92. 5 $\pm$ 3. 1% to 93. 8 $\pm$ 2. 1% for the left and right transverse processes and a decrease in the mean and max surface distance from 0. 75 $\pm$ 0. 60mm and 8. 63 $\pm$ 4. 44mm to 0. 30 $\pm$ 0. 27mm and 3. 65 $\pm$ 2. 87mm, respectively.
