System and method for vertebra bone density analysis

A system comprising:

• a display;
• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a plurality of pre-operation medical images of a patient, the plurality of pre-operation medical images capturing at least one vertebral body;
• segmenting the pre-operation medical images, resulting in three-dimensional (3D) pre-operation model of the at least one vertebral body, the 3D pre-operation model comprising a plurality of volumetric regions,
• wherein each volumetric region in the plurality of volumetric regions has a bone density based at least in part on the plurality of pre-operation medical images;
• identifying a plurality of spine surgery options;
• generating, for each of the plurality of spine surgery options using the 3D pre-operation model, at least one 3D predicted model of the at least one vertebral body, resulting in a plurality of 3D predicted models;
• simulating a plurality of forces being applied to each model in the plurality of 3D predicted models, resulting in a plurality of predicted surgery outcomes;
• ranking the plurality of spine surgery options based on the plurality of predicted surgery outcomes, resulting in a plurality of risk assessments;
• and
• displaying, via the display, the plurality of risk assessments.
