Paragraph Number

158

In one embodiment, the determination module 1810 may use advanced computer analysis such as image segmentation to determine the anatomic data. Alternatively, or in addition the determination module 1810 may use software and/or systems that implement one or more artificial intelligence methods (e.g., machine learning and/or neural networks) for deriving, determining, or extrapolating, anatomic data from the bone model. In one embodiment, the determination module 1810 may perform an anatomic mapping of the bone model 1804 to determine each unique aspect of the intended osteotomy procedure and/or bone resection and/or bone translation. The anatomic mapping may be used to determine coordinates to be used for an osteotomy procedure, position and manner of resections to be performed either manually or automatically or using robotic surgical assistance, a width for bone cuts, an angle for bone cuts, a predetermined depth for bone cuts, dimensions and configurations for resection instruments such as saw blades, milling bit size and/or speed, saw blade depth markers, and/or instructions for automatic or robotic resection operations.
