Radio-frequency systems and methods for co-localization of medical devices and patients
Abstract:
Systems and methods for facilitating interactions between a medical device (e.g., an imaging device, a surgical tool, a robotic arm, etc.) and a patient using radio frequency (RF) co-localization are provided. The systems include a radio-frequency (RF) interrogator system, one or more first RF target devices for coupling to a patient support for supporting a patient with respect to whom a medical device is to perform a task, and one or more second RF target devices for coupling to the medical device. A controller determines a position of the patient support within an RF interrogator system reference frame, a first position of the medical device within the RF interrogator system reference frame, a transformation between the RF interrogator system reference frame and a patient support reference frame, and a second position of the medical device within the patient support reference frame.
