  • Patent number: 11645749
    Abstract: A system for determining and visualizing damage to an anatomical joint of a patient. The system is to: obtain a three dimensional image representation of an anatomical joint which is based on a medical image stack; determine damage to an anatomical structure in the anatomical joint by analyzing the medical image stack; mark damage to the anatomical structures in the obtained three dimensional image representation; obtain a 3D model based on the three dimensional image representation; and create a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI may comprise: functionality to visualize and enable manipulation of the at least one 3D model; functionality to enable removal of the visualization of the anatomical structure from the 3D model; functionality to visualize and enable browsing of the medical image stack; and functionality to visualize the position of the medical image that is currently visualized.

  • Publication number: 20200294232
    Abstract: A system for creating decision support material indicating damage to an anatomical joint of a patient. The system is configured to: i) receive a series of radiology images of at least a part of the anatomical joint; ii) obtain a three-dimensional image representation of the at least part of the anatomical joint; iii) identify tissue parts of the anatomical joint using image analysis; iv) determine damage to the anatomical joint by analyzing said image representation; v) mark damage to the anatomical joint in the obtained three-dimensional image representation; and vi) generate decision support material. The analysis comprises: detecting an irregular shape of a contour of a tissue part; and/or detecting that the intensity in an area within or adjacent to bone and/or cartilage parts differs from a predetermined value; and/or comparing at least one identified tissue part with a template representing a predefined damage pattern for an anatomical joint.
