    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the spatial position of objects, in particular medical objects. First position data is acquired that describes a spatial position of an object in a first coordinate system. First transformation data is acquired that transforms the object's position from the first coordinate system to a second coordinate system. Based on the foregoing data, second position data is acquired that specifies the spatial position of the object in the second coordinate system. Second transformation data is acquired that transforms the object's position from the second coordinate system to an inertial coordinate system. Based on the second position data and the second transformation data, inertial position data is determined that specifies a position of the object in the inertial coordinate system.

    Abstract: An articulated robotic platform is provided as an end-actuator intended to be fitted to an articulated robotic arm. One use of the articulated robotic platform is to more accurately guide surgical tools during a surgical intervention making it possible to achieve positional accuracy on the level of millimeters or fractions of a millimeter. The articulated robotic platform includes support members attached to the patient or anchoring the articulated robotic platform onto a clamp. The support members of the articulated robotic platform are capable of changing in length, and this change can be monitored by an extension measurement sensor fitted to one or more of the support members. The controller, when provided with feedback information of the extension measurement and direction of several of the legs, can calculate accurately the position of the articulated robotic platform relative to an intervention area of a patient.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented medical method of determining a breathing signal of a patient is disclosed. The method includes determining a motion trajectory of a structure associated with at least one body part of the patient, the motion trajectory being indicative of a respiratory movement of the structure, acquiring surface data representative of a position of a surface region of the patient, computing an intersection of the determined motion trajectory and the acquired surface data, and determining a breathing signal of the patient based on the computed intersection. The breathing signal is indicative of a breathing state of the patient.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented medical data processing method for controlling a geometric status of a mechatronic articulable arm. Current geometric status data is acquired describing a current geometric status of the mechatronic articulable arm defined by a set of current spatial relationship between connected elements of the mechatronic articulable arm. Changed geometric status data describing a changed geometric status of the mechatronic articulable arm defined by a set of changed spatial relationship between the connected elements is determined based on current device position data, the current geometric status data, changed device position data, and device definition data. Instruction data describing an instruction for changing the geometric status of the mechatronic articulable arm from the current geometric status to the changed geometric status is determined. The instruction describes changes from the current spatial relationship to the changed spatial relationship.

    Abstract: A computer implemented medical method of calibrating a medical instrument is provided. The method calculates a position of the instrument tip model within the indentation model, associated with an estimated position of the instrument tip within the indentation and calibrates the medical instrument, thereby using the determined position of the instrument tip model. The position of any arbitrary medical instrument tip, such as an indentation of a calibration device, can be estimated. This is an improvement of accuracy in view of the generic approach of using the same reference point of the indentation of the calibration device for any arbitrary medical instrument tip. A virtual model of a shape of a medical instrument, such as the instrument tip, is matched onto a virtual model of a shape of a calibration device, such as an indentation of the calibration device.

    Abstract: A display data processing device (100) for analysing and/or augmenting display data is provided. The device comprises an input interface (102) configured to receive input display data from an image rendering device (300), and an output interface (104) configured to transmit output display data to at least one display (400) for displaying the output display data at the at least one display (400), wherein the input display data includes user interface data indicative of a graphical user interface (410) displayable at the at least one display. The device further includes a processing circuitry (106) including one or more processors (108), wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on analysing the input display data, augmentation data for augmenting the input display data, determine, based on analysing the input display data, at least one augmentation position for displaying the augmentation data at the least one display (400), and generate the output display data based on supplementing the input display data with the determined augmentation data and the determined at least one augmentation position.
