SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PLANNING MEDICAL PROCEDURES AND DESIGNING MEDICAL DEVICES BASED ON ANATOMICAL SCAN DEFORMATIONS

摘要

A method of formulating a patient-specific plan for a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure performed upon a patient is provided. The method includes obtaining a standard plan based upon a scan of an anatomy of a standard anatomic specimen, the scan defining a standard scan. The method also includes scanning the patient to obtain a patient-specific scan of an anatomy of the patient. Additionally, the method includes morphing the standard scan to the anatomy of the patient by mapping the standard scan to the patient-specific scan. The method further includes determining the patient-specific plan by modifying the standard plan based upon the mapping.
