Lumi HL2 App > Planning Tools
3D models can be marked within Lumi to enhance insight of the user during preoperative planning. The planning tools can be accessed by selecting the 3D model in the 3D patient menu and opening the submenu for the 3D model.
​
​Drawing Tool​
The drawing tool can be used to draw lines of the surfaces of 3D models, for example to simulate an incision. Follow these steps to make a drawing:​​
-
Select the 3D model in the 3D patient menu
-
In the submenu, select Drawing (Skin) or select More Options > Add > Drawing (other 3D models)
-
Grab the drawing tool and move it over the surface of the 3D model
-
Use Clear to clear the drawing, Restore to restore (part of) the drawing, or change the color of the drawing
​
Removal Tool
3D models can be (partially) removed within Lumi, for example to simulate a burr hole and view the trajectory. Follow these steps to use the removal tool:
-
Select the 3D model in the 3D patient menu
-
In the submenu, select Removal (Skull or Brain) or select More Options > Add > Removal (other 3D models)
-
Grab the removal tool and move it over the surface of the 3D model
-
Use Clear to clear the removal, Restore to restore (part of) the removal, or change the size of the removal
Draw and Removal
This video demonstrates how to use the Draw and Removal functions. These tools can be used to draw lines on the surfaces of 3D models and remove parts of 3D models, respectively.
Pointer
A pointer can be used to indicate a point of interest in the 3D patient. Follow these steps to add the pointer:
-
Select the 3D patient part in the 3D patient menu
-
In the submenu, select More Options > Add > Pointer
-
Grab the pointer to indicate to a point of interest​​
​
Line
A line can be added to the 3D patient to mark a straight line between 2 points of interest and/or measure the distance between 2 points of interest. Follow these steps to add the line:​
-
Select the 3D patient part in the 3D patient menu
-
In the submenu, select More Options > Add > Line
-
Grab both sides of the line and position them at the points of interest
-
Enable the info label to see the length of the line
​
Sphere
A Sphere can be added to the 3D patient to simulate a structure (a tumor for example), when used in combination with Shape Edit (see: Shape Edit Lumi HL2). Follow these steps to add the sphere:​
-
Select the 3D patient part in the 3D patient menu
-
In the submenu, select More Options > Add > Sphere
-
Position the Sphere approximately at the position of the structure you want to simulate
​
Plane
A plane can be added to the 3D patient to simulate a cutting plane. Follow these steps to add the plane:​
-
Select the 3D patient part in the 3D patient menu
-
In the submenu, select More Options > Add > Plane
-
Position the plane
