System for simulation for the development and optimization of person specific surgical methods and materials: thorax simulation apparatus, system and process
A process for thorax simulation modelling, including: receiving imaging data representing one or more images of a thorax of an individual; processing the imaging data to generate component data representing thoracic body parts including one or more joints adjacent to a costal cartilage or a sternum of the individual; and processing the generated component data to generate simulation model data representing the structural properties of the thorax of the individual, including the properties of the one or more joints.
