    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating patient-specific surgical guides comprising: capturing a first and second images of an orthopedic element in different reference frames using a radiographic imaging technique, detecting spatial data defining anatomical landmarks on or in the orthopedic element using a neural network, applying a mask to the orthopedic element defined by an anatomical landmark, projecting the spatial data from the first image and the second image to define volume data, applying the neural network to the volume data to generate a reconstructed three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) model of the orthopedic element; and calculating dimensions for a patient-specific surgical guide configured to abut the orthopedic element.
