Abstract
Disclosed is a system to assist in a procedure. During the procedure an object may be moved relative to a subject, such as being positioned and/or placed within a subject. The system and related method may be used to assist in displaying and/or determining a pose of the object relative to a subject, such as rigid portions of a subject.
Claims19
A method of planning an implant configuration for a procedure, comprising:
- accessing an image data of a subject having at least a first portion and a second portion of the subject;
- analyzing a region of interest (ROI) between the first portion and the second portion;
- determining an ROI volume geometry of the region of interest between the first portion and the second portion of the subject;
- accessing a model of an object, the model including at least (i) a dimension of a rigid portion of the object and (ii) a plurality of possible configurations of a configurable portion of the object;
- analyzing the accessed model to determine whether the object may achieve the ROI volume geometry;
- and
- outputting a result of the analysis of the accessed model;
- wherein outputting the result includes determining if the object fills a selected threshold of the determined ROI volume geometry but not greater than the determined ROI volume geometry.

A system for planning an implant configuration for a procedure, comprising:
- a processor system configured to execute instructions to:
- access an image data of a subject having at least a first portion and a second portion of the subject;
- analyze a region of interest (ROI) between the first portion and the second portion;
- analyze an ROI volume geometry of the region of interest between the first portion and the second portion of the subject;
- access a model of an object, the model including at least (i) a dimension of a rigid portion of the object and (ii) a plurality of possible configurations of a configurable portion of the first object;
- analyze the accessed model to determine whether the object may achieve the ROI volume geometry;
- and
- output a result of the analysis of the accessed first model;
- and
- an output device to receive the output;
- wherein outputting the result includes determining if the object fills a selected threshold of the determined ROI volume geometry but not greater than the determined ROI volume geometry.
