SIMULATION METHOD FOR DESIGNING CUSTOMIZED MEDICAL DEVICES

摘要

The invention provides a system for virtually designing a medical device conformed for use with a specific patient as shown in the figure. The system uses a three dimensional geometry model of a patient specific body cavity or lumen reconstructed from scanned volume images. Knowledge of the physical properties of the cavity or lumen is obtained by body cavity or lumen and is used to model interactions between a simulated device and a simulated body cavity or lumen.
