Abstract
A method for modeling a patient anatomy includes applying a first modeling function to a set of volumetric image data for a patient anatomy to produce a first model of the patient anatomy, presenting the first model to a user, receiving an input from the user, and generating a revised model based upon the input.
Claims18
A computing system comprising:
- a user interface;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
- through the user interface, present a patient-specific model of a patient anatomy to a user, the patient-specific model being formed by applying a first segmentation function to a set of volumetric image data for the patient anatomy to produce the patient-specific model of the patient anatomy;
- through the user interface, receive an input from the user;
- generate a revised model by applying an adjusted segmentation function to the set of volumetric image data, the adjusted segmentation function based upon the input;
- and
- present the revised model to the user,
- wherein the patient-specific model is associated with a plurality of patient-specific model parameters, wherein the plurality of patient-specific model parameters includes a leak rate, the leak rate being a measurement of additional passageways within the patient-specific model that do not correspond to actual passageways within the patient anatomy.
