Abstract
Systems and methods for providing assistance to a surgeon during an implant surgery are disclosed. A method includes defining areas of interest in diagnostic data of a patient and defining a screw bone type based on the surgeon's input. Post defining the areas of interest, salient points are determined for the areas of interest. Successively, an XZ angle, an XY angle, and a position entry point for a screw are determined based on the salient points of the areas of interest. Successively, a maximum screw diameter and a length of the screw are determined based on the salient points. Thereafter, the screw is identified and suggested to the surgeon for usage during the implant surgery.
Core Innovation
A computer-implemented method displays, via at least one user device, a personalized surgical plan for evaluating a surgical procedure for implanting a first implant along a spine of a patient. The personalized surgical plan includes a virtual anatomical model of a portion of the spine based on one or more images of the patient and one or more surgical procedure annotations associated with implantation of the first implant along vertebrae of the spine.
User input for the personalized surgical plan is sent from the at least one user device, and a modified personalized surgical plan is displayed based on the user input. The modified personalized surgical plan includes a modified virtual anatomical model of the spine, shows a second implant different from the first implant positioned along the spine for viewing, and includes one or more predicted anatomical target outcomes based on the user input.
In the modified personalized surgical plan, a first implant is positioned relative to two or more vertebrae to achieve a first target outcome, and the second implant is shown positioned relative to the two or more vertebrae for viewing in a second target outcome. The method supports sending at least one of user approval or user input for the modified personalized surgical plan from the at least one user device.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims cover an interactive computer-implemented workflow with user-device display, personalized and modified surgical plans, virtual anatomical models based on patient images, visualization of first and second implants, and predicted anatomical target outcomes. Three main claim structures are present, with variants emphasizing implantation along vertebrae with annotations, implant positioning relative to two or more vertebrae, and virtual representations of implants.
Personalized surgical plan with virtual anatomical model and procedure annotations
Displaying a personalized surgical plan for evaluating a surgical procedure for implanting a first implant along a spine, wherein the personalized surgical plan includes a virtual anatomical model of a portion of the spine based on one or more images and one or more surgical procedure annotations associated with implantation of the first implant along vertebrae.
Modified personalized plan based on user input with second implant and predicted outcomes
Displaying a modified personalized surgical plan based on user input, including a modified virtual anatomical model, showing a second implant different from the first implant positioned along the spine for viewing, and displaying one or more predicted anatomical target outcomes based on the user input.
Personalized plan with first implant relative to two or more vertebrae and modified plan with second implant
Displaying a personalized surgical plan including a virtual anatomical model and a first implant positioned relative to two or more vertebrae to achieve a first target outcome, then displaying a modified personalized surgical plan including a modified virtual anatomical model, a second implant different from the first implant positioned relative to the two or more vertebrae for viewing in a second target outcome, and one or more predicted anatomical target outcomes.
Virtual implant representations for target-outcome visualization and modification
Displaying a personalized surgical plan including a virtual representation of a portion of the spine based on one or more images and a first virtual representation of a first implant implanted along the portion to achieve a first target outcome, accepting user input, and displaying a modified personalized surgical plan including a modified virtual representation of the spine, a second virtual representation of second implant positioned relative to the spine for viewing in a second target outcome, and one or more predicted anatomical target outcomes.
The inventive coverage centers on interactive display of personalized and modified surgical plans using virtual anatomical models derived from patient images, visualization of a first implant and an alternative second implant, and predicted anatomical target outcomes that update in response to user input.
