Patents by Inventor Ofek Shilon

Ofek Shilon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8543338
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures. The method may include producing a digital image-based model of an anatomical structure based on medical image data, producing, based on the image-based model and extrapolated data, an extended model that represents the anatomical structure and adjacent anatomical regions not included in the medical image data, displaying a graphical representation of the extended model and performing a computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure using the extended model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2013
    Assignee: Simbionix Ltd.
    Inventors: Ran Bronstein, Niv Fisher, Ofek Shilon, Einav Namer
  • Patent number: 8500451
    Abstract: An apparatus for simulating an image-guided procedure. The system comprises an input for receiving a three-dimensional (3D) medical image depicting an organ of a patient, a model generation unit for generating a 3D anatomical model of the organ according to the 3D medical image, and a simulating unit for simulating a planned image-guided procedure on the patient, according to the 3D anatomical model.

  • Publication number: 20110236868
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures. The method may comprise receiving medical image data of a specific patient. A patient-specific digital image-based model of an anatomical structure of the specific patient may be generated based on the medical image data. A computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure may be performed using the digital image-based model. Medical image data, the image-based model and a simulated medical tool model may be simultaneously displayed.
