Techniques to map three-dimensional human anatomy data to two-dimensional human anatomy data

Abstract

Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining, first multi-dimensional image data of an anatomical region of a patient in a first loading state; determining, from the first multi-dimensional image data, regions corresponding to anatomic elements of a spine; identifying, in each region, a first set landmarks; obtaining, a second multi-dimensional image data of the anatomical region comprising the spine of the patient in a second loading state; identifying a second set of landmarks from the second multi-dimensional image data that map to the first set of landmarks; obtaining an aligned multi-dimensional image data of the patient's spine; generating a design for a medical implant based on spinopelvic parameters measured from the aligned multi-dimensional image data; and causing a medical implant to be manufactured by sending the design for the medical implement to a manufacturing device.
