Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for designing a stent for placement within an airway of a patient. Computer executable instructions are executable by a processor to provide an image segmenter, a graphic user interface, and a model generator. The image segmenter segments at least one image of a region of interest to provide a three-dimensional airway model representing at least a portion of the airway. The graphic user interface prompts a user to select a plurality of locations at an within the airway model and a corresponding plurality of diameters for the plurality of locations. The model generator constructs a stent model from the selected locations and diameters.
