Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for rapid generation of simulations of a patient's spinal morphology that enable pre-operative viewing of a patient's condition and to assist surgeons in determining the best corrective procedure and with any of the selection, augmentation or manufacture of spinal devices based on the patient specific simulated condition. The simulation is generated by morphing a generic spine model with a three-dimensional curve representation of the patient's particular spinal morphology derived from existing images of the patient's condition.

The simulation is generated by morphing a generic spine model with a three-dimensional curve representation of the patient's particular spinal morphology derived from existing images of the patient's condition. Other anatomical structures in the patient's skeletal system are likewise simulated by morphing a generic normal skeletal model, as applicable, particularly those skeletal entities that are connected directly or indirectly to the spinal column.

Abstract: The technology relates to generating a three-dimensional point cloud model of an anatomical structure. A computer accessible memory stores a three-dimensional array of data elements describing multiple anatomical features of a subject, each of the data elements having associated therewith positional data and a separate parameter value. A processor may be configured to identify any data elements in the three-dimensional array having an associated parameter value satisfying a predefined threshold value associated with at least one anatomical feature. The processor may be further configured to generate a visually displayable three-dimensional point cloud model of at least one anatomical structure having a first plurality of points in the point cloud model which define an exterior perimeter of the at least one anatomical structure and a second plurality points in the point cloud model which define at least one feature interior of the exterior perimeter of the at least one anatomical structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing surgery based on an analysis of images captured in at least two different planes are disclosed. According to some embodiments, a first X-ray image of a spine in a first plane and a second X-ray image of the spine in a second plane are obtained, and a curve is drawn on the first and second X-ray images so that the curve tracks the vertebral bodies of the spine. The coordinates of the curve in the first and second X-ray images are determined by performing image processing to detect the curve in the X-ray images. A three-dimensional model of the spine is constructed based on the coordinates. The model is analyzed based on medical data relating to the spine and models of other spines to determine parameters of a spinal device. The spinal device is constructed and deployed in the spine based on the parameters.
