Latest Patents

Jonkergouw’s listed patents address medical imaging, anatomical modeling, and surgical guidance.

- **Surgery planning system with automated defect quantification.** This invention describes a process for preparing medical treatment plans using patient medical images. It creates a three-dimensional anatomy model, fits a statistical shape model to it, derives quantitative measurements, and uses those measurements to classify an anatomical defect.

- **Augmented reality assisted joint arthroplasty.** This invention describes systems and methods that create a virtual scene containing anatomical elements, identify references in the physical scene, and register the virtual scene to those references. The resulting augmented scene is displayed on a device to assist with surgery.
