A system and method for simulating the reconstructive surgery of a cruciate ligament using medical images are disclosed herein. The system includes a processor, the processor is configured to acquire a first image of a knee region of a subject, and a 3D model including the knee region, identify the locations of reference points, on the 3D model, acquire a second image corresponding to the changes in the movement of the knee region, and track changes in the locations of the reference points using the acquired second image, and simulate changes in the length of a virtual ligament attributable to the changes in the movement of the knee region based on the tracked changes in the locations of the reference points and the location of the insertion of the virtual ligament received from a user. |

1. A method for simulating reconstructive surgery of a cruciate ligament using medical images executed by a processor within a computing system, the method comprising:
acquiring, by the processor, a first image of a knee region of a subject on which ligament reconstructive surgery will be performed, and a 3D model which is generated to include the knee region; identifying, by the processor, locations of reference points, which are references for tracking changes in movement of the knee region, on the 3D model; acquiring, by the processor, a second image corresponding to the changes in the movement of the knee region; tracking, by the processor, changes in the locations of the reference points, identified on the 3D model, using the acquired second image corresponding to the changes in the movement; and simulating, by the processor, changes in length of a virtual ligament attributable to the changes in the movement of the knee region based on the tracked changes in the locations of the reference points and a location of insertion of the virtual ligament received from a user. |
