    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing an optically detectable and retro-reflective medical tracking marker, wherein electromagnetic energy is applied to at least one section of a retro-reflective surface of a marker structure in an amount that is sufficient to alter the material properties of the retro-reflective surface, such that the capability of reflecting electromagnetic radiation of the at least one section is reduced to a second capability of reflecting electromagnetic radiation. The present invention further relates to a corresponding retro-reflective medical tracking marker and a corresponding use thereof.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for determining a position of an imaged anatomical body part of a patient. The method includes acquiring patient image data describing a digital image of at least part of a reference device and the anatomical body part, acquiring reference device model data describing a model of at least one of at least one internal surface or at least one external surface of the reference device, determining, —based on the patient image data and the reference device model data, reference device image position data describing a relative position between the reference device and the anatomical body part, acquiring reference device tracking data describing a position of the reference device in the tracking reference system, and determining, based on the reference device image position data and the reference device tracking data, body part tracking data describing a position of the anatomical body part in the tracking reference system.

    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.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a computer-implemented medical method of determining a patient-specific setting of at least one imaging parameter of an imaging device. The method includes acquiring patient data describing information relating to a patient and having impact on the setting of at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device and acquiring object data describing at least one property of at least one object of interest associated with the anatomy of the patient. The imaging parameter data is determined based on the patient data, describing a patient-specific setting of the at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device.

    Abstract: A method is provided for supporting determination of medical procedure by created adapted population data. The adapted population is determined by a user entered degree of similarity of the patient and is used to describe an adapted probability that the anatomical structure can be treated. The method further utilizes at least analysis of the medical image data from the patient. The created adapted population data describes an adapted population based on the user entered similarity and generates adapted outcome atlas data describing an adapted probability that a specific anatomical structure can be treated successfully by the medical procedure. The adapted probability is determined based on the generated adapted population.

    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.
