Abstract
A method for customizing an interactive control 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 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.
Claims18
A method for customizing an interactive control 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 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 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 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 boundary and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient on the display.
