  • Methods and systems to produce continuous trajectories from discrete anatomical shapes
    Patent number: 9142042
    Abstract: A method of estimating changes in an anatomical structure over time. The method includes steps of obtaining a plurality of shapes of an anatomical structure from a plurality of points in time, wherein the plurality of shapes of the anatomical structure includes a baseline shape of the anatomical structure; continuously deforming the baseline shape of the anatomical structure using a growth model parameterized by acceleration; fitting the deformed baseline shape to at least one of the plurality of shapes of the anatomical structure; and using the deformed baseline shape to estimate at least one shape of the anatomical structure at a time corresponding to a time that is different than any of the plurality of points in time.
