Content
After the step 102 has been carried out, the method 100 may proceed to a step 104 in which a CAD model of the patient’s anatomy (including one or more bones) is generated. The CAD model may be one example of a bone model. The CAD model may be of any known format, including but not limited to SolidWorks, Catia, AutoCAD, or DXF. In some embodiments, customized software may be used to generate the CAD model from the CT scan. The CAD model may only include the bone(s) to be treated and/or may include surrounding tissues. In alternative embodiments, the step 104 may be omitted, as the CT scan may capture data that can directly be used in future steps without the need for conversion.
