Abstract
A computer specific system for receiving a plurality of medical imaging specific 3D patient specific data sets from different 3D data sources, for a patient receiving reconstructive surgery, locating and applying a plurality of landmarks to each data set, and performing an overlay analysis procedure that aligns the 3D data sets from the different 3D data sources to create a 3D medical image representation of the patient's tissue. The 3D representation can be used to create 3D models for use by surgeons to perform reconstructive surgical procedures.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method of processing medical imaging data for use in reconstructive surgical procedures, comprising:
- receiving medical imaging data for a patient undergoing an aesthetic or reconstructive surgery, wherein the medical imaging data comprises a plurality of patient-specific 2D and/or 3D digital data sets from different 2D and/or 3D data sources;
- performing a vantage point centrality landmark identification procedure, locating and applying predetermined landmarks to each digital data set wherein each predetermined landmark represents proportional relationship data that provides alignment of the different 2D and/or 3D digital data sets;
- and
- performing an overlay analysis procedure;
- that aligns the plurality of 2D and/or 3D digital data sets from the different sources to create a unitary 3D digital representation of hard tissue, soft tissue and external anatomical imaging.
A patient-specific 3D model for use in reconstructive surgeries, produced by:
- receiving medical imaging data for a patient undergoing an aesthetic or reconstructive surgery, wherein the medical imaging data comprises a plurality of patient specific 2D and/or 3D digital data sets from different 2D and/or 3D data sources:
- processing the medical imaging data by:
- performing a vantage point centrality landmark identification procedure, locating and applying predetermined landmarks to each digital data set wherein each predetermined landmark is representative of proportional relationship data that provides alignment of the different digital data sets;
- and
- performing an overlay analysis procedure that aligns the plurality of 2D and/or 3D digital data sets from the different sources-to create a unitary 3D model based on the processed hard tissue, soft tissue and external anatomical medical imaging data.
