Abstract
A method for customizing an interactive haptic boundary based on a patient-specific feature comprises identifying a reference feature associated with a virtual implant model. The method also comprises determining an intersection between the identified reference feature and a virtual model associated with an anatomy of the patient. A virtual haptic boundary is generated based on the determined intersection between the identified reference feature associated with the virtual implant model and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient.
Claims25
A method for customizing an interactive haptic boundary based on a patient-specific feature, comprising:
- identifying a reference feature associated with a virtual implant model;
- determining an intersection between the identified reference feature and a virtual model associated with an anatomy of the patient;
- and
- generating a virtual haptic boundary based on the determined intersection between the identified reference feature associated with the virtual implant model and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient.
A method for customizing an interactive haptic boundary based on a patient-specific feature, comprising:
- displaying a graphical representation of an implant in virtual coordinate space;
- displaying a graphical representation of a bone in virtual coordinate space;
- positioning the graphical representation of the implant relative to the graphical representation of the bone based on a user input;
- extracting reference feature information associated with the virtual representation of the implant;
- mapping the extracted reference feature information to the graphical representation of the bone;
- receiving information indicative of a positional landmark associated with the bone;
- estimating an intersection between the positional landmark and the mapped reference feature;
- and
- generating a virtual haptic boundary based, at least in part, on the estimated intersection between the positional landmark and the mapped reference feature.
A computer-assisted surgery system comprising:
- a display;
- an input device configured to receive data input by a user;
- a processor, operatively coupled to the input device and the display and configured to:
- identify a reference feature associated with a virtual implant model;
- determine an intersection between the identified reference feature and a virtual model associated with an anatomy of the patient;
- generate a virtual haptic boundary based on the determined intersection between the identified reference feature associated with the virtual implant model and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient;
- and
- display the generated virtual haptic boundary and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient on the display.
