Latest Patents

Sutula is credited with 1 patent: “Biomechanical Model for Predicting Deformations of a Patient Body.” The invention describes a computer-implemented method that uses a biomechanical model to predict deformation in at least one part of a patient’s body.

The method runs multiple forward simulations to calculate deformation vectors, then uses those results to create an approximated biomechanical model. It acquires pre-operative data and computationally optimizes the deformation predicted by the approximated model. Finally, it applies the optimized deformation vector to the pre-operative patient data. The patent also describes approaches using multivariate interpolation and mode decomposition to calculate the approximated model.
