Abstract
An implant surface mapping and unwrapping method provided by the present invention selects or defines a mesh implant geometry, and places and rotates it in a specific spatial position according to a mesh. Vertex space coordinates, which are interpolated in medical images such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound to calculate the gray scale values of these spatial coordinate points, and map them on the surface of the implant. In addition, the implant is irregular. The surface can be further unwrapped through the planar image to help understand its contact with the anatomy. If the medical image is pre-converted to other anatomical, physiological, pathological, and functional parameters, the mapping and unwrapping results will also be displayed with these parameters. Learn more about the relationship between implants and these parameters.
