The invention provides a system for virtually designing a medical device conformed for use with a specific patient. Using the system, a three-dimensional geometric model of a patient-specific body cavity or lumen is reconstructed from scanned volume images such as obtained x-rays, magnetic resonance...http://www.google.de/patents/US20020137014?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20020137014 - Simulation method for designing customized medical devices
