Spine stress map creation with finite element analysis

A system for creating a spine stress map, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
• generate a multi-class segmentation for an anatomical element of a patient based on a plurality of magnetic resonance images of an anatomical element from a plurality of patients;
• generate a plurality of stress maps for the anatomical element of a patient based on simulating stresses on the multi-class segmentation of the anatomical element, the simulated stresses being simulated using a finite element analysis that is based on the multi-class segmentation;
• determine one or more stress maps of the plurality of stress maps to display based on a prediction for multi-labeled masks and/or stress maps for the anatomical element;
• and
• display at least one of the one or more of the plurality of stress maps via a user interface.

A system for creating a spine stress map, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
• generate a multi-class segmentation for a spinal cord of a patient based on a plurality of magnetic resonance images of spinal cords from a plurality of patients;
• generate a plurality of stress maps based on simulating stresses on the spinal cord, the simulated stresses being simulated using a finite element analysis that is based on the multi-class segmentation;
• determine one or more stress maps of the plurality of stress maps to display based on one or more deep learning models configured to predict multi-labeled masks and/or stress maps for the spinal cord;
• and
• display at least one of the one or more of the plurality of stress maps via a user interface.
