Method of generating a patient-specific bone shell
First Claim
1. A reconstruction system for generating a patient-specific bone shell representative of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s bone in its current state comprising:
- a recognition module configured for receiving a plurality of 2D images of a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, the recognition module recognizing from the plurality of 2D image slices at least a bone segment comprising an enclosed boundary corresponding to an exterior of the patient'"'"'s bone;
a construction module to produce and output a 3D image bone shell of at least the portion of the patient'"'"'s bone by associating the plurality of 2D images of the patient'"'"'s bone based on the recognition of the enclosed boundary of each bone segment, where the 3D image bone shell depicts a current state of the patient'"'"'s bone.
