Devices and methods for anatomic mapping for prosthetic implants
A method of generating a patient-specific prosthetic includes receiving anatomic imaging data representative of a portion of a patient's anatomy. A first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data is defined. The first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data is modified. A second digital representation of the portion of the patient's anatomy is defined based on the modifying of the first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data. A patient-specific prosthetic template of the portion of the patient's anatomy is generated based at least in part on the second digital representation of the anatomic imaging data.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a digital representation of a patient's aorta, the digital representation including data representative of an original branch blood vessel location;
receiving a user input;
determining a predicted branch blood vessel location based on an expected change in position of the patient's aorta; and
generating a model of the patient's aorta, the model including data representative of the predicted branch blood vessel location.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the predicted branch blood vessel location is based at least in part on the user input.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the predicted branch blood vessel location is based at least in part on the expected change in position of the patient's aorta as a result of the insertion of a prosthesis.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the predicted branch blood vessel location is based on the expected change in position of the patient's aorta as a result of the insertion of a prosthesis and on the user input.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input includes at least one of an anatomic feature of the patient, a property of a prosthesis, a delivery device for delivering a prosthesis to the patient, and an insertion location of a prosthesis.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predicted branch blood vessel location is determined automatically as a result of the user input.
7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with processor-executable instruction that, when executed by a processor, performs a method for determining a predicted branch blood vessel location, the method comprising:
receiving, at the processor, a digital representation of a patient's blood vessel, the digital representation including data representative of an original branch blood vessel location;
predicting a change in the patient's blood vessel;
automatically determining the predicted branch blood vessel location based on the predicted change in the patient's blood vessel; and
providing data representative of the predicted branch blood vessel location.
8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the method includes receiving, at the processor, a user input, the user input including at least one of an anatomic feature of the patient, a property of a prosthesis, a delivery device for delivering a prosthesis to the patient, and an insertion location of the prosthesis.
9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the predicted change in the patient's blood vessel is based on a property of a delivery device for delivering a prosthesis to the patient.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the predicted change in the patient's blood vessel is based on a property of a prosthesis.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the predicted change in the patient's blood vessel is based on an insertion location of a prosthesis.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , further comprising:
automatically extracting a centerline of the patient's blood vessel from the digital representation.
13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 12 , further comprising:
automatically predicting a change in the centerline based on at least one of an anatomic feature of the patient, a property of a prosthesis, a property of a delivery device for delivering a prosthesis to the patient, and an insertion location of a prosthesis.
