A shape of a medical device to be implanted into a subject is verified by
acquiring a plurality of inter-fiduciary marker dimensions from the
subject. Three-dimensional image data of the markers and a tissue of
interest, included in the subject, is obtained. Respective measurements
between the fiduciary markers around the subject and in the image data
are confirmed. The tissue of interest and the fiduciary markers are
identified in the image data. Points of the tissue of interest and the
fiduciary markers are rendered as a 3-dimensional surface representation.
A 3-dimensional model of the tissue of interest and the fiduciary markers
is generated as a function of the surface representation. A shape of the
medical device to be implanted into the subject is determined as a
function of the 3-dimensional model.
