Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a spatial relationship between planning image data and current surface data which leads to improved surface registration accuracy by considering the elasticity and deformability of the tissue. The knowledge about the tissue can be estimated based on type of tissue and atlas information. For the process of generating surface registration points on specific anatomical regions, e.g. the face or forehead, are acquired with a classical navigated pointer or laser pointer. It is also possible to acquire points with surface scanners. Confidence values defining a probability for certain parts of the surface registration points being deformed in comparison to a planning image are read from atlas data and used to compensate for the deformation in the registration between the surface registration points and the planning image in order to render the registration valid.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method updates a calibration of a multi-component medical system, wherein a modified spatial relation between a first and a second section of interest of a modified system setup is determined as a function of an initial spatial relation between a first and a second section of interest of an initial system setup, particularly wherein at least one component of the initial setup of the medical system may remain in the modified setup of the medical system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for augmented reality spinal rod planning and bending for navigated spine surgery. A proposed spinal rod is determined that is a virtual model of a spinal rod with a desired shape. The proposed spinal rod is determined based on acquired positions of a plurality of spinal screws disposed on a spine of a patient. The spinal screws are configured for receiving a spiral rod interconnecting the plurality of spinal screws. Furthermore, the spinal rod itself is calibrated for tracking by a medical navigation device. This allows displaying the proposed spinal rod by an augmented reality device, thereby overlaying the tracked spinal rod with the proposed spinal rod. Thus, the proposed method inter alia provides the surgeon with improved information about the bending state of the spinal rod.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method of detecting at least one foreign object in one or more intraoperative images encompasses the provision and use of one or more intraoperative images, which are compared to expected image content. This also includes particularly the use of live intraoperative video data that are acquired and used in the computer-implemented method defined herein. The method further encompasses the creation, i.e. the calculation and or provision, of expected image content based on several different inputs. Such creation of expected image content can be based on e.g. data associated with the patient's body undergoing a medical procedure, parameters that are indicative of said medical procedure, and/or imaging parameters of the individual imaging device used to generate said one or more intraoperative images. In a further step, a comparison between the expected image content and the one or more acquired intraoperative images is conducted, preferably using an image and/or video analysis algorithm for analyzing the at least one acquired intraoperative image and for automatically detecting the at least one foreign object in the intraoperative image.
