Abstract
A system and method for generating a patient-specific organ model is provided. The method may include receiving ultrasound images of an organ and probe position data corresponding with each of the ultrasound images. The method may include receiving identification of landmarks in the ultrasound images corresponding with pre-defined landmarks of a generic geometric organ model. The method may include automatically identifying surface points of the organ in the ultrasound images. The method may include generating a patient-specific ultrasound point cloud of the organ based on the received identification of the landmarks, the automatically identified surface points of the organ, and the probe position data. The method may include registering a point cloud of the generic geometric model to the patient-specific ultrasound point cloud to create a patient-specific organ model. The method may include presenting the patient-specific organ model at a display system.
