Surface and image integration for model evaluation and landmark determination
11704872 · 2023-07-18 · ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a software program that displays both a volume as images and segmentation results as surface models in 3D. Multiple 2D slices are extracted from the 3D volume. The 2D slices may be interactively rotated by the user to best follow an oblique structure. The 2D slices can “cut” the surface models from the segmentation so that only half of the models are displayed. The border curves resulting from the cuts are displayed in the 2D slices. The user may click a point on the surface model to designate a landmark point. The corresponding location of the point is highlighted in the 2D slices. A 2D slice can be reoriented such that the line lies in the slice. The user can then further evaluate or refine the landmark points based on both surface and image information.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL SELECTIVE BONE MATCHING FROM TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DATA

A method of generating a custom three-dimensional (3D) model of a patient bone from one or more 2D images is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a 2D image of a bone, optionally of a joint, and identifying a 3D bone template for a candidate or representative bone from a pre-aligned library of representative bones. The method further includes repositioning one or more views of the 3D model or 2D images (e.g., with respect to rotation angle or caudal angle). In an iterative process, another 3D bone model for another candidate bone can be identified based on the repositioning until an accuracy threshold is satisfied. When the accuracy threshold is satisfied, surface region(s) of the current 3D bone model can then be modified to generate the resulting 3D model for the patient bone. The process can then be repeated for other bone(s) associated with the joint of the patient.
