Claim 18:
19. A system for performing a deformation simulation of a hollow organ of a patient able that is deformed by an introduction of a medical instrument or medical object, the system comprising:
a communication apparatus configured to interrogate three-dimensional medical recordings of the hollow organ with surrounding tissue;
a storage apparatus configured to store three-dimensional medical recordings of the hollow organ with surrounding tissue;
an image processor configured to segment three-dimensional medical recordings of the hollow organ with surrounding tissue and to establish a three-dimensional model of a surface of the hollow organ with surrounding tissue;
a processor configured to simulate, using a pre-trained machine-learning algorithm, the deformation of the hollow organ to be expected or caused by the introduction of the medical instrument on a basis of a segmented three-dimensional medical recording, wherein the machine-learning algorithm is pre-trained by a plurality of known pairs of recordings from a first three-dimensional medical recording of an undeformed hollow organ and its surrounding tissue and a second three-dimensional medical recording of a hollow organ and its surrounding tissue deformed by a medical instrument or a medical object; and
a display configured to display the simulated hollow organ deformed by the medical instrument or the medical object.
