3D Medical Image Modeling for Recommended Cross-Sections

The system automatically generates three-dimensional models from ultrasound images and determines cross-section positions without requiring manual intervention. The processing circuit autonomously performs model generation, cross-section identification, and position determination, eliminating the need for operators to manually set cross-sections while maintaining measurement accuracy through automated algorithms

The patent replaces manual mechanical operation with automated computational processing. Instead of operators manually adjusting and setting cross-sections on ultrasound images, the system uses image processing algorithms to automatically extract shape information, generate three-dimensional models, and calculate optimal cross-section positions, thereby reducing operator workload while maintaining precision

The system transitions from two-dimensional ultrasound images to three-dimensional models by automatically generating volumetric data. The processing circuit creates three-dimensional representations of the left atrial appendage entrance part and surrounding sites, enabling more accurate shape measurements in multiple dimensions while maintaining the simplicity of the original ultrasound imaging equipment

The system performs preliminary processing of ultrasound images to automatically generate three-dimensional models before actual measurement. By pre-processing the images to create volumetric data and identify anatomical structures, the system prepares the data in advance for accurate measurement, improving precision without requiring complex real-time processing during the measurement itself
