Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures. The method may comprise receiving medical image data of a specific patient. A patient-specific digital image-based model of an anatomical structure of the specific patient may be generated based on the medical image data. A computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure may be performed using the digital image-based model. Medical image data, the image-based model and a simulated medical tool model may be simultaneously displayed.

System and method for performing a computerized simulation of a medical procedure

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing computerized simulations of image-guided procedures. The method may include producing a digital image-based model of an anatomical structure based on medical image data, producing, based on the image-based model and extrapolated data, an extended model that represents the anatomical structure and adjacent anatomical regions not included in the medical image data, displaying a graphical representation of the extended model and performing a computerized simulation of an image-guided procedure using the extended model.

System and method for performing computerized simulations for image-guided procedures using a patient specific model

An apparatus for simulating an image-guided procedure. The system comprises an input for receiving a three-dimensional (D) medical image depicting an organ of a patient, a model generation unit for generating aD anatomical model of the organ according to theD medical image, and a simulating unit for simulating a planned image-guided procedure on the patient, according to theD anatomical model.
