Materialise N.V.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a flexible scaffold implant comprising a plurality of layered structures, the plurality of layered structures comprising: a first layered structure having a three-dimensional (3D) shape and formed from a bioresorbable material, and a second layered structure conforming to the corresponding 3D shape of the first layered structure and formed from the bioresorbable material. The first layered structure is arranged in proximity to the second layered structure. The first layered structure is configured to dissolve for resorption at a different rate than the second layered structure based on design elements of the first layered structure and the second layered structure. The plurality of layered structures are flexible.

Systems and methods of determining ligament attachment areas with respect to the location of a rotational axis of a joint implant are disclosed. Certain embodiments provide a computer-implemented method of evaluating placement of a joint implant with respect to a joint. The method includes determining one or more ligament attachment regions of the joint. The method further includes determining one or more rotational axes of the joint implant. The method further includes determining a position of the joint implant relative to the joint. The method further includes determining whether the one or more rotational axes align with the one or more ligament attachment regions when the joint implant is at the position. The method further includes displaying to a user an indication of whether the one or more rotational axes align with the one or more ligament attachment regions when the joint implant is at the position.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for preparing medical treatment plans, comprising: acquiring medical image data associated with an anatomy of a patient; creating a three-dimensional anatomy model based on the medical image data; fitting a statistical shape model to the three-dimensional anatomy model; determining one or more quantitative measurements based on the fitted statistical shape model; and classifying a defect associated with the anatomy of the patient based on the one or more quantitative measurements.

Systems and methods of providing augmented reality assisted surgery are disclosed. Certain aspects provide a method including generating a virtual scene comprising one or more virtual elements comprising one or more anatomical elements corresponding to one or more anatomy parts. The method further includes identifying one or more references in an actual physical scene comprising the one or more anatomy parts. The method further includes registering the virtual scene to the one or more references to generate an augmented scene. The method further includes displaying the augmented scene on a display device.

Certain embodiments provide a method for controlling airflow in a lung of a respiratory system of a patient. The method generally includes placing a device in an airway passage, wherein the device comprises: an outer wall and an inner wall defining a lumen from a proximal end to a distal end of the device and changing a volume of the lumen over time.
