Abstract
Systems, instruments, and methods for medical treatment are disclosed. The methods comprise, by a computing device: receiving information identifying at least one first point on a body part shown in a medical image; overlaying a first mark on the medical image for the at least one first point; generating a spline based at least on the first mark; overlaying a second mark for the spline on the medical image; identifying a location of at least one second point on the body part shown in the medical image based on the first and second marks; overlaying a third mark for the at least one second point on the medical image; and using at least the third mark to facilitate the medical treatment of an individual whose body part is shown in the medical image.
Claims18
A method for medical treatment, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, information identifying at least one first point on a body part shown in a medical image;
- overlaying, by the computing device, a first mark on the medical image for the at least one first point;
- generating, by the computing device, a spline based at least on the first mark;
- overlaying, by the computing device, a second mark for the spline on the medical image;
- identifying, by the computing device, a location of at least one second point on the body part shown in the medical image based on the first and second marks;
- overlaying, by the computing device, a third mark for the at least one second point on the medical image;
- analyzing differences in gray levels for pixels residing within a given area surrounding an end of the third mark to determine a precise location of an object corner;
- and
- modifying at least one of a shape of the third mark, a size of the third mark and a location of the third mark relative to the medical image in accordance with results of the analyzing;
- and
- using at least the third mark to facilitate the medical treatment of an individual whose body part is shown in the medical image.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for medical treatment, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
- receive information identifying at least one first point on a body part shown in a medical image;
- overlay a first mark on the medical image for the at least one first point;
- generate a spline based at least on the first mark;
- overlay a second mark for the spline on the medical image;
- identify a location of at least one second point on the body part shown in the medical image based on the first and second marks;
- overlay a third mark for the at least one second point on the medical image;
- analyze differences in gray levels for pixels residing within a given area surrounding an end of the third mark to determine a precise location of an object corner;
- and
- modify at least one of a shape of the third mark, a size of the third mark and a location of the third mark relative to the medical image in accordance with results of the analyzing;
- and
- use at least the third mark to facilitate the medical treatment of an individual whose body part is shown in the medical image.
