Content
As shown, the method 100 may begin with a step 102 in which a CT scan (or another three-dimensional image, also referred to as medical imaging) of the patient’s anatomy is obtained. The step 102 may include capturing a scan of only the particular bone(s) to be treated, or may include capture of additional anatomic information, such as the surrounding tissues. Additionally, or alternatively, the step 102 may include receiving a previously captured image, for example, at a design and/or fabrication facility. Performance of the step 102 may result in possession of a three-dimensional model of the patient’s anatomy, or three-dimensional surface points that can be used to construct such a three-dimensional model.
