Paragraph Number

267

In one embodiment, the segmentor 1020 may comprise an advanced computer analysis system such as software, a software add-in, and/or systems that implement one or more artificial intelligence methods (e.g., machine learning and/or neural networks (e.g., ANN, GAN, or the like)) for deriving, determining, or extrapolating, anatomic structures from medical imaging 1030. For example, in one embodiment, neural network may be trained to examine DICOM file(s) of a patient’s foot and identify each of the boundaries for each of the bones of the foot captured in the DICOM files. Once identified, the segmentor 1020 may present the identified bones in the form of a bone model that includes at least one bone of a patient’s foot. Additionally, the medical imaging 1030 may be configured to output an STL that defines the bone model such that a modeling computer program product can interpret, display, modify, and/or manipulate the bone model.
