Claim Text:
1. A method to locate and measure surgically relevant anatomic features and/or landmarks and propagate these measurements to different populations using a programmable data processing system, comprising the steps of: (a) using a data input device to provide the programmable data processing system with a base template bone data set and a match bone data set, the base template bone data set and the match bone data set each comprising an image generated by a medical imager; (b) storing the base template bone data set and the match bone data set in a database; (c) establishing a correlation between at least one of the surgically relevant anatomic features and/or landmarks from the base template bone data set with a corresponding surgically relevant anatomic feature and/or landmark from the match bone data set; and (d) propagating the at least one surgically relevant anatomic feature and/or landmark from the base template bone data set across a bone data population using a statistical atlas.
