Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of registering a digital model of an anatomical body part corresponding to a patient body part. The method encompasses input, to an augmented reality viewing device, of data defining a digital model of an anatomical body part, for example of the spine. The model comprises at least one vertex which corresponds to a specific part of the anatomical body part. The specific part is for example a landmark which is easily identifiable for a user, such a specific vertebra which may be found by palpation. Based on a known orientation of the augmented reality viewing device relative to the anatomical body part, visual information is displayed on a viewing unit of the augmented reality viewing device. The visual information indicates the position of the vertex as an overlay on the position of the specific part of the anatomical body part in the field of view of the augmented reality viewing device.

Abstract: The disclosed method encompasses registering an augmented reality device such as augmented reality glasses with a tracking coordinate system associated with a position tracking system. This may be effected by different approaches, for example by using a distance measurement unit (depth sensor) of the augmented reality device to determine a position of the augmented reality device relative to an object in a medical environment such as in surgery or radiotherapy/radiosurgery. The object may additionally be tracked by the position tracking system so that on the basis of the distance measurement, a relative position between the augmented reality device and the tracking coordinate system can be determined in order to register the augmented reality device with the position tracking system. This registration allows displaying augmentation information in a desired context and/or at a desired location in the image of the medical environment captured by the augmented reality device.

Abstract: The present application provides an initial, or first, packed arc setup to be compared with predefined arc setup constraints. These predefined arc setup constraints constrain at least one or more of the number of patient table angles per target volume, the number of times the gantry moves along one arc per table angle, the sum of gantry span per metastasis over all arcs, and the minimum table span. Based on the result of the comparison between the packed first arc setup with the predefined arc setup constraints, a second arc setup is automatically suggested. The automatically suggested second arc setup may then be compared with the first arc setup by calculating a score for both setups. Several iterations of such a method can be carried out based on the comparison between an arc setup and the following, subsequent arc setup in the iteration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of overlaying a representation of a medical instrument over a two-dimensional medical image. It finds at least one feature point along a detection line which is defined relative to the medical instrument in the medical image, calculates a geometrical quantity based on this feature point and adds the geometrical quantity to the two-dimensional medical image.

Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method for identifying a region of interest for image registration is provided. The method includes analyzing three-dimensional CT or MRI image data of a tissue to identify one or more structural elements therein and determining a spatial arrangement of the structural elements, accessing first ultrasound image data of the tissue and performing a first image registration of the first ultrasound image data with the CT or MRI image data at a first accuracy, and identifying, based on the spatial arrangement of the structural elements, a region of interest for a subsequent second image registration of second ultrasound image data of the tissue with the CT or MRI image data at a second accuracy that is higher than the first accuracy.

Abstract: A method for automatic detection of a medical instrument orientation for robotic surgery is presented. The method determines the orientation of a marker device attached to the medical instrument in relation to the robotic system by comparing movement information. The method compares the information about a movement of the marker device from a tracking system with the information about a movement of the robotic arm, which movement data can be acquired by the robotic system. The orientation of the medical instrument with respect to the robotic system can be determined automatically and used for subsequent calculations such as an automatic and efficient precise alignment to a target trajectory or a correct positioning assistance for a mechatronic arm. A computer-implemented medical method of automatically determining an orientation of a medical instrument base in relation to a robotic system is provided.

Abstract: The disclosed method encompasses using an augmented reality device to blend in augmentation information including for example atlas information. The atlas information may be display separately from or in addition to a patient image (planning image). In order to display the atlas information in a proper position relative to the patient image, the two data sets are registered to one another. This registration can serve for generating a diversity of atlas-based image supplements, for example alternatively or additionally to the foregoing for displaying a segmentation of the patient image in the augmented reality image. The disclosed method is usable in a medical environment such as for surgery or radiotherapy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for determining an orientation of an electrode using acquired two-dimensional rotational images taken while the two-dimensional imaging apparatus is rotated about the patient, and acquired three dimensional tomographic images of the anatomical structure. The electrode orientation is determined in the three-dimensional reference system of the tomographic imaging apparatus.
