1. A method of making a joint replacement system for repairing a joint of a patient, including:
- obtaining data of a first image volume of the patient;
obtaining data of a second image volume of the patient;
transforming the data of the first image volume and the data of the second image volume into a common coordinate system, wherein the data referenced in the common coordinate system are used to design a surgical tool for use in repairing the joint of the patient; and
making the joint repair system including the designed surgical tool.

Abstract
In accordance with the present invention there is provided methods for generating an isotropic or near-isotropic three-dimensional images from two-dimensional images. In accordance with the present invention the method includes, obtaining a first image of a body part in a first plane, wherein the first image generates a first image data volume; obtaining a second image of the body part in a second plane, wherein the second image generates a second image data volume; and combining the first and second image data volumes to form a resultant image data volume, wherein the resultant image data volume is isotropic or near-isotropic.
