Abstract: Systems and method of planning thoracic surgery. A three-dimensional model is generated to provide greater clarity between lung segments as well as identifying the airways and vasculature supporting the lung segment to enable accurate surgical planning.

Abstract: A system and method of image processing including a processor in communication with a display and a computer readable recording medium having instructions executed by the processor to read an image data set from the memory, segment the image data set, and skeletonize the segmented image data set. The instructions cause the processor to graph the skeletonized image data set, assign a branch identification (ID) for each branch in the graph, and associate each voxel of the segmented image data set with a branch ID. The instructions cause the processor to generate a three-dimensional (3D) mesh model from the graphed skeletonized image data set, associate each vertex of the 3D mesh model with a branch ID; and display in a user interface the 3D mesh model, and an image of the image data set.

Abstract: Systems and method of manually and automatically generating 3D models and correcting 3D models by identifying vasculature withing image scan data and constructing a series of connected segments, each segment of the 3D model having a diameter of an oblique view of the vasculature associated with that segment.

Abstract: A system for stabilization based on respiratory movement includes a medical device configured to navigate inside of a patient, a tracking sensor affixed on the medical device and configured to track a location of the medical device, at least one motion sensor located on the patient and configured to sense respiratory movements of the patient, a computer configured to generate a respiratory model based on the respiratory movements sensed by the at least one motion sensor for a predetermined period and to stabilize a location of the medical device based on the respiratory model after the predetermined period, and a display configured to display a graphical representation of the medical device based on the stabilized location on a pre-procedure two-dimensional (2D) image or three-dimensional (3D) model.
