SYSTÈMES ET PROCÉDÉS POUR MODÉLISER DES COLONNES VERTÉBRALES ET TRAITER DES COLONNES VERTÉBRALES SUR LA BASE DE MODÈLES DE COLONNES VERTÉBRALES

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for rapid generation of simulations of a patient's spinal morphology that enable pre-operative viewing of a patient's condition and to assist surgeons in determining the best corrective procedure and with any of the selection, augmentation or manufacture of spinal devices based on the patient specific simulated condition. The simulation is generated by morphing a generic spine model with a three-dimensional curve representation of the patient's particular spinal morphology derived from existing images of the patient's condition.
