Abstract/Summary
Currently, orthopedic surgeons use 2D fluoroscopy x ray imaging mid operation to analyze the location and rotation of the pelvis and the precision of the implantation geometrically. However, the pelvis of a given patient simply isn’t a 2-dimensional object, making it difficult to read the 2D imaging with exact precision every single time. Our goal is to take a mid-operational 2D image from a fluoroscopy X-ray during a total hip arthroplasty surgery and overlay it to the 3D model from a pre-operational CT scan and pinpoint the 3D location of the pelvis from the 2D fluoroscopy. Thus, our product will be indicated for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty surgery. Currently there are many existing patents relevant to our goals, one of which includes Location-based Object Identification and Data Visualization where we would have to be careful in our method of data collection for localization to avoid infringement. After investigating existing products and potential competition, we analyzed the design specifications and customer requirements using a house of quality. We examined customer requirements like price and run time and compared them to engineering specifications like file size and operating system. Once we understood our basic goals for the project, the entire engineering process was outlined in the form of a Gantt chart with a corresponding network diagram that highlights the steps of our process that make up our critical path. We also concluded that as of now, we have nothing in our plans that requires money for a budget, though this is subject to change.
