Paragraph Number

299

A bone model or anatomic model of a patient’s body or body part(s) may be generated by computing devices that analyze medical imaging images. Structures of a patient’s body can be determined using a process called segmentation. In certain embodiments, the patient imaging data maybe gathered from the patient as the patient is not placing their weight on one or more feet. Alternatively, or in addition, in certain embodiments, the patient imaging data maybe gathered from the patient as the patient is placing their weight on one or more feet. Such imaging may be referred to as weight-bearing patient imaging data. For example in one embodiment, the bone model is derived from patient imaging data generated while the patient placed their weight on at least one joint involved in the osteotomy procedure.
