Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures. The method may comprise receiving medical image data of a specific patient. A patient-specific digital image-based model of an anatomical structure of the specific patient may be generated based on the medical image data. A computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure may be performed using the digital image-based model. Medical image data, the image-based model and a simulated medical tool model may be simultaneously displayed.
Claims33
A method of performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures, the method comprising:
- receiving medical image data related to a specific patient;
- producing a patient-specific digital image-based model of an anatomical structure of the specific patient based on the medical image data;
- performing a computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure;
- and
- simultaneously displaying the image-based model and at least some of the medical image data of the specific patient.
An article comprising a computer-storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processing platform, result in:
- receiving medical image data of a specific patient;
- producing a patient-specific digital image-based model of an anatomical structure of the specific patient based on the medical image data;
- performing a computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure;
- and
- simultaneously displaying the image-based model and at least some of the medical image data of the specific patient.
A system for performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures, the system comprising:
- an imaging unit to generate medical image data of a patient;
- a model generation unit to receive the medical image data and to produce a patient-specific digital image-based model of an anatomical structure of the specific patient based on the medical image data;
- a simulation unit to perform a computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure by comprising manipulating a physical medical tool;
- and
- a presentation unit to cause a simultaneous display of the digital image-based model, a simulated model of the medical tool and at least part of the medical image data.
