Abstract
Disclosed are a method for designing a patient-specific implant and guidance, and a program and apparatus therefor. According to the design method of the present disclosure, an area to be cut is defined in a first skeleton image of a patient's skeleton where an affected area is positioned, and an area to be implanted is defined in a second skeleton image of a skeleton of the other area including a graft material.
Claims20
A method performed by an apparatus for designing a patient-specific implant and guidance, the method comprising:
- specifying a first skeleton image of a patient's skeleton on which an affected area where a graft material is to be implanted is positioned;
- modeling a second skeleton image of a skeleton of an other area including the graft material;
- specifying first spatial information on an area to be cut in the first skeleton image;
- specifying second spatial information on a region to be implanted in the second skeleton image;
- and
- overlapping the second skeleton image and the first skeleton image by matching the first spatial information with the second spatial information.
An apparatus for designing a patient-specific implant and guidance, the apparatus comprising:
- an input/output interface;
- a memory that stores an instruction;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein e processor is connected to the input/output interface and the memory to
- specify a first skeleton image of a patient's skeleton on which an affected area where a graft material is to be implanted is positioned,
- model a second skeleton image of a skeleton of another area including the graft material,
- specify first spatial information on an area to be cut in the first skeleton image,
- specify first spatial information on an area to be implanted in the second skeleton image, and
- overlap the second skeleton image with the first skeleton image by matching the first spatial information with the second spatial information.
