Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of adjusting control commands for moving a medical camera connected to a motorized support structure, wherein the adjustment is based on images provided by the camera. Based on a comparison of at least two images provided by the camera, an actual motion of the camera is determined and compared with an intended motion defined by a control command forwarded to the motorized support structure. In case a deviation between the intended motion and the actual motion is determined, a correction is applied to the control command such that the actual motion of the camera coincides with the intended motion.

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 of determining a treatment plan, encompassing acquiring patient image data, acquiring target data describing targets, acquiring position data describing control points which define one or more arcs, and determining target projection data which describes outlines of the target in a beam's-eye view. Margin data is acquired. For the outlines, margins are applied to determine auxiliary outlines. Beam shaping device data is determined describing configurations of the collimator leaves so that irradiation of the auxiliary outlines is enabled. Based on these configurations, the irradiation amount is simulated for voxels of the patient image data. Constraints to be fulfilled by the treatment plan may be set. Configurations of blockings, arc-weights and margins are proposed. Only different combinations of these parameters are proposed while additional possible parameters are neglected. An optimization algorithm is used to minimize an objective function. The best configuration is selected as the treatment plan.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of segmenting a medical patient image using an atlas and relating the segmentation result to a model of possible geometric changes to the segmentation result (e.g. for correcting the position of the segmentation of anatomical structures) which consider for example anatomical limitations. The thus-related segmentation result may be used as a basis for changing and/or correcting the position, shape and/or orientation of at least parts of the segmentation result, e.g. by user interaction. The invention also relates to an atlas data set comprising information such as values of the variables of the model of possible geometric changes in relation to the positions of anatomical structures in the atlas.

Abstract: The disclosed method encompasses moving an object such as a medical device or instrument to a desired spatial position based on tracking data provided by a tracking system. Once it is determined from the tracking data that the object has reached the desired spatial position, a projection image is generated, which is registered with the desired spatial position and shows the object. Based on the image data, it is possible to verify whether the object has actually reached the desired position, or whether the object's actual position deviates from the desired position due to errors or inaccuracies, allowing measures to be taken to compensate for these errors or inaccuracies.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining an assignment of an object acquire patient image data of interest recognizable in a digital medical patient image such as a tumour or other medical anomaly such as an implant to an anatomical region. The medical patient image is registered with atlas data, The assignment is then determined by calculating a score value defining an amount of volume intersection between the object of interest and a digital object defining a specific anatomic region, for example a bounding box around a specific organ, which is defined in the atlas data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method which encompasses registering a tracked imaging device such as a microscope having a known viewing direction and an atlas to a patient space so that a transformation can be established between the atlas space and the reference system for defining positions in images of an anatomical structure of the patient. Labels are associated with certain constituents of the images and are input into a learning algorithm such as a machine learning algorithm, for example a convolutional neural network, together with the medical images and an anatomical vector and for example also the atlas to train the learning algorithm for automatic segmentation of patient images generated with the tracked imaging device. The trained learning algorithm then allows for efficient segmentation and/or labelling of patient images without having to register the patient images to the atlas each time, thereby saving on computational effort.

Abstract: First and second skeleton model data is determined based on first and second surface data of a patient. Each of the skeleton model data describes geometries of rigid anatomic structures of a patient at a different point in time. Skeleton difference data is determined describing differences between the geometries of the rigid anatomic structures. In a next step, movement instruction data is determined which describes movement to be performed by the rigid anatomic structures to minimize the differences, i.e. to correct the posture of the patient. The movement instruction data is for example determined based on anatomy constraint data which describes anatomical movement constraints for the rigid anatomic structures (e.g. range of motion of a joint). An instruction is displayed (e.g. using augmented reality), guiding the user how to move the rigid anatomic structures so as to correct the patient's posture.
