Abstract: The invention relates to a medical registration apparatus (1), comprising •two flanks (2a, 2b); •a pivot portion (3) around which at least one of the flanks (2a, 2b) is rotatable with respect to a rotation centre (3c, 3d) (FIG. 1, FIG. 3); •a contacting portion (4a, 4b) on each of the flanks (2a, 2b), each contacting portion (4a, 4b) being spaced apart from the rotation centre (3c, 3d); and •a sensor (5, 6) being arranged with an offset (r, FIG. 4 A) to a line (a) connecting the contacting portions (4a, 4b). The invention also relates to a data processing method for use with the medical registration apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining control data for increasing the braking force exerted by a braking mechanism of a mechatronic articulable arm on at least one or all joints connecting the arm elements of the mechatronic articulable arm to a level of braking force which is higher than the level required for locking the joint or joints, respectively. The control data is determined in dependence on both the relative position between the mechatronic articulable arm and an anatomical body part of patient, and a locking state of the mechatronic articulable arm.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a configuration of a medical robotic arm, wherein the configuration comprises a pose of the robotic arm and a position of a base of the robotic arm, comprising the steps of: —acquiring treatment information data representing information about the treatment to be performed by use of the robotic arm; —acquiring patient position data representing the position of a patient to be treated; and —calculating the configuration from the treatment information data and the patient position data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for generating an anonymized medical image of an anatomical body part of a patient, a corresponding computer program, a program storage medium storing such a program and a computer for executing the program, as well as a medical system comprising an electronic data storage device and the aforementioned computer. The disclosed method encompasses establishing a mapping from a patient image onto an atlas, changing that mapping, and applying the inverse of the changed mapping to the atlas in order to transform image content from the atlas to the patient image in order to achieve a deformed and thereby anonymised appearance of the patient image.

Abstract: During a sEEG (stereo-electroencephalography) intervention into the skull of a patient, there is requirement to drill a large number of trajectories. Typically, instrument stabilisation platforms and robots for protocols requiring only one or two trajectories are rigidly fixed to the skull using surgical anchor members fixed into the skull around the one or two trajectories. However, because sEEG interventions require a large number of trajectories, an impractical number of surgical anchor members need to be fixed into the skull resulting in patient discomfort. Attachment of an intervention platform to all surgical anchor members is not required at once. Accordingly, it is proposed to search for intersection points of the maximum extent of an intervention platform between at least two trajectory entry points on an object of interest of patient, so that at least one surgical anchor member can be shared when the intersection point is at first and the second trajectories. Any reduction in the number of surgical anchor members inserted into a patient reduces risk and discomfort. The positioning of the shared anchor members can be optimised to enable good mechanical stability, and/or optical registration performance. Furthermore, the number of surgical anchor members required for intervention can be reduced. Because the surgical anchor members are sterilised and made from high quality metal, a cost for performing the procedure can also be reduced.

Abstract: A computer-implemented medical method of determining the position of an anatomical region of interest of a patient's body is provided. The method includes acquiring finger model data, acquiring finger position data based on the finger model data and based on imaging the at least one finger, acquiring planning image data that describes a planning external surface of the anatomical region of interest, and determining anatomical region position data based on the finger position data and the planning image data, wherein the finger model data describes a user-specific model of the pose which is acquired by imaging the at least one finger when it attains the pose.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a positional pattern of an irradiation unit for irradiating a patient with treatment radiation. Optimal order data describing an order of the irradiation unit positions for which the statistical value is optimal is determined. The optimal order data is determined based on irradiation unit position data describing irradiation unit positions of the irradiation unit for which the imaging device has a free viewing direction onto the position of the patient, position orders data describing all possible orders of the irradiation unit positions for which the imaging device has a free viewing direction onto the position of the patient, and intersection angle data describing a statistical quantity of the intersection angles between free viewing directions of the imaging unit for irradiation unit positions which are immediately subsequent in the order described by the position orders data.

Abstract: The disclosed invention encompasses an image-based approach of calibrating an ultrasound-probe, wherein at least two ultrasound-images which cross each other are acquired with a tracked ultrasound probe, and wherein the intersection areas of these images, which have been calculated on the basis of the tracked spatial position of the ultrasound probe are checked for similar image content. The grade of similarity gives an indication as to how well the ultrasound probe is calibrated.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and a system for registering and tracking an anatomical structure of a patient. A method includes acquiring a first stereoscopic image dataset including video images having different viewing angles, and providing a first image content showing the anatomical structure; registering the first image dataset to a 3D image dataset showing the anatomical structure; acquiring a second stereoscopic image dataset comprising video images having different viewing angles and providing a second image content showing the anatomical structure, which differs from the first image content; and tracking the anatomical structure based on the second image dataset.
