    Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a center of rotation of a bone, comprising the steps of: a) acquiring image data representing a plurality of images taken by a camera while the bone is being rotated about the center of rotation, wherein the images show a marker device attached to the bone; b) forming a plurality of image pairs from the image data, wherein each image pair comprises two different images; c) determining a first relative position of the marker device relative to the camera from a first image of an image pair; d) determining a second relative position of the marker device relative to the camera from a second image of the same image pair; e) calculating a transformation of the first relative position into the second relative position; f) repeating steps c) to e) for all image pairs to obtain a plurality of transformations; and calculating the location of the center of rotation of the bone relative to the marker device from the plurality of transformations.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining the sagittal rotation of a patient's pelvis based on a standard anterior posterior X-ray-image with known image parameters and a calibration of the image, for example by using at least one King-Mark calibration object. The angle of the pelvic rotation is determined between a pelvic plane which is orthogonal to the midsagittal plane of the pelvis, and the image plane of the X-ray-image. Assuming the patient's position shown on the X-ray-image represents a standard neutral position, the X-ray-image plane can be used as a functional reference plane for further calculations, for example during hip-replacement surgery. The present invention further relates to a corresponding computer program and system.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the spatial position of objects, in particular objects, comprising the steps of: —acquiring first position data which comprise first position information describing the spatial position of an object (2) within a first co-ordinate system (A); —acquiring first transformation data which comprise first transformation information describing a transformation of the object's position from the first co-ordinate system (A) into a second co-ordinate system (B); —acquiring, on the basis of the first position data and the first transformation data, second position data which comprise second position information describing the spatial position of the object (2) within the second co-ordinate system (B); —acquiring second transformation data which comprise second transformation information describing a transformation of the object's position from the second co-ordinate system (B) into an inertial co-ordinate system (I); —determining, on the basis of the second position data and the second transformation data, inertial position data which comprise inertial position information describing the spatial position of the object (2) within the inertial co-ordinate system (I). The present invention also relates to a program which, when running on a computer (4), cause the computer (4) to perform the method steps of the method described above and/or to a program storage medium on which the program is stored and/or to a computer (4) comprising such a program storage medium and/or to a signal wave, in particular a digital signal wave, carrying information which represents the program. The present invention also relates to a tracking system for determining the spatial position of objects, in particular medical objects, comprising: —a sensor array (1) which is configured to determine the spatial position of at least one tracking marker attached to an object (2); —an inertial sensor array (3) which is attached to said sensor array; and —a computer (4).
