Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and system for mapping anatomical structures and marking them on an image to be printed on a substrate including the steps of inserting an imaging device into a surgical site, obtaining an image of a defect located in the surgical site from the imaging device, adjusting the image, transmitting the image to a printer, and printing the image on a substrate. The printed image may be a size directly proportional to the defect. The adjusting step may further include the steps of setting a minimum margin to be maintained between the perimeter of the defect and the perimeter of the substrate, selecting a shape and size of the substrate, and identifying at least one anatomical feature of the surgical site.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for mapping anatomical structures and marking them on a substrate for a surgical procedure, comprising:
inserting an imaging device into a surgical site;
obtaining an image of a defect located in the surgical site from the imaging device;
identifying at least one anatomical feature of the surgical site and marking the at least one anatomical feature on the image;
setting a minimum margin to be maintained between an edge of the defect and an ed…
