Full Desc
“Edit” (or “Editing”) refers to any user-initiated or system-assisted action to create, modify, confirm, reject, reorder, relabel, hide/show, lock/unlock, attach metadata to, or delete one or more items relevant to surgical planning, including without limitation landmarks, constructed references (e.g., a plumbline), annotations, measurements (e.g., distances, angles, ratios), calibration data, views/projections (AP, LAT, oblique, weight-bearing or non-weight-bearing designations), simulation parameters, and elements of a planned or final correction procedure, and the like.
Editing may include, without limitation: placing or re-placing points; translating/rotating/scaling lines, axes, or regions; snapping to detected edges; redefining or refining a landmark; changing labels or classes; adjusting thresholds or tolerances (e.g., ε for intersect/tangential determinations); recalibrating pixel spacing; converting units; re-measuring or recomputing values; accepting, rejecting, or modifying analyzer-proposed landmarks or measurements; toggling visibility or layering of overlays; cropping, window/level adjustment, or other non-destructive display adjustments; linking a measurement or reference to a planned correction step; and adding notes or rationale.
Editing may be performed manually, semi-automatically, or automatically, via any input modality including mouse/trackpad, keyboard, stylus, touch, multi-touch gestures, voice, foot pedal, gaze/eye-tracking, or programmatic commands, and the like. In one embodiment, edits trigger real-time re-computation of dependent values (e.g., intermetatarsal angle, PL classification/clearance), updates to anatomic data, regeneration of annotated images or simulated corrected anatomy images, and/or updates to procedure plans. In one embodiment, edits are versioned with timestamps, user identity, and change descriptions, and are non-destructive to the underlying image data unless an explicit destructive operation is selected.
Editing may occur pre-operative, intra-operative, or post-operative; may be performed locally or remotely (including telehealth); and may be executed by a surgeon or other authorized user under applicable permissions and workflows.
