Publication number: 20180189421Abstract: Determining a shape of a medical device to be implanted into a subject produces an image including a defective portion and a non-defective portion of a surface of a tissue of interest included in the subject. The tissue of interest is segmented within the image. A template, representing a normative shape of an external anatomical surface of the tissue of interest, is superimposed to span the defective portion. An external shape of an implant, is determined as a function of respective shapes of the defective portion as seen in the template, for repairing the defective portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Howard David Dean, Krishnamoorthy Subramanyan, Alexandros T.
