The patent’s assignee is Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence Co. Ltd. (Shanghai , People’s Republic of China). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Conventional patient modeling methods can only obtain a th ree-dimensional (3D) surface model of the patient. To enrich the information tha t may be encompassed in a patient model and make it applicable to more clinical applications, it may be desirable to model the interior anatomical structures of the patient together with the 3D surface model. Information regarding these int erior anatomical structures may be obtained through one or more of the common me dical scans such as computed tomography (CT), X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound imaging. Compared to the other imaging techniques, ultrasou nd imaging may be faster and safer, have a noninvasive nature, and be less expen sive than the MRI and CT alternatives. Accordingly, it may be beneficial to obta in the information regarding a patient’s interior anatomical structures by using ultrasound imaging techniques.”
