  • Method and system for simulating intervertebral disc pathophysiology
    Patent number: 11791053
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for modeling the pathophysiology of a human intervertebral disc may comprise an anatomic dataset and a biophysical model disposed in connection with a simulation program. The biophysical model may comprise a plurality of subsystems, including, without limitation, governing equations, constitutive equations, boundary conditions, initial conditions, and parameter values. By altering certain subsystems of the biophysical model, a user may selectively solve for certain pathophysiological metrics using at least one of a plurality of algorithms disposed within the simulation program.
    Type: Grant
