    Abstract: Various embodiments of an X-ray imaging system employ a C-arm (60) and an X-ray overlay controller (410). In a planning overlay display mode, the controller (410) processes a planning X-ray image (420) and a reference planning X-ray image (421), both illustrative of the planning X-ray calibration device (400) and further processes a base X-ray image (424, 425) (422) illustrative of a base X-ray calibration device to control a display of a planned tool trajectory overlay (412) and a tracked tool position overlay (413) onto the planning X-ray image (420). In a guiding overlay display mode, the controller (410) processes a pair of interventional X-ray images (424, 425) and a guiding X-ray image (426), all illustrative of a guiding X-ray calibration device (402), to control a display of a guidance tool trajectory overlay (414) and a racked tool position overlay (415) onto the guiding X-ray image (426).

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a C-arm registration system employing a controller (70) for registering a C-arm (60) to a X-ray ring marker (20). The X-ray ring marker (20) includes a coaxial construction of a chirp ring (40) and a centric ring (50) on an annular base (30). In operation, the controller (70) acquires a baseline X-ray image illustrative of the X-ray ring marker (20) within a baseline X-ray projection by the C-arm (60) at a baseline imaging pose, derives baseline position parameters of the X-ray ring marker (20) within the baseline X-ray projection as a function of an illustration of the centric ring (50) within the baseline X-ray image, and derives a baseline twist parameter of the X-ray ring marker (20) within the baseline X-ray projection as a function of the baseline position parameters and of an illustration of the chirp ring (40) within the baseline X-ray image.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a C-arm registration system employing a controller (70) for registering a C-arm (60) to an X-ray ripple marker (20) including a ripple pattern (50) radially extending from a fixed point (40) of the X-ray ripple marker (20). In operation, the controller (70) identifies the ripple pattern (50) within an X-ray image generated from an X-ray projection by the C-arm (60) and illustrative of a portion or an entirety of the ripple pattern (50), the identification of the ripple pattern (50) within the X-ray image is characteristic of a pose of the X-ray projection by the C-arm (60) relative to the X-ray rippler marker (20). The controller (70) further analyzes the ripple pattern (50) within the X-ray image to derive one or more transformation parameters definitive of the pose of the X-ray projection by the C-arm (60) relative to the X-ray rippler marker (20), and registers the C-arm (60) to the X-ray ripple marker (20) based on the transformation parameter(s).

    Abstract: Various embodiments for X-ray imaging system employs a C-arm registration controller (830) for controlling a registration of a C-arm (60) to an X-ray marker (800) based on a generation by the C-arm (60) of an X-ray image (820) illustrative of the X-ray marker (800). The system further employs a registration confirmation controller (840) for controlling an interactive overlay display of a virtual confirmation marker (801) onto a display of the X-ray image (820) based on the registration of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800), and for controlling a misalignment correction of the interactive overlay display of the virtual confirmation marker (801) relative to the X-ray marker (800) as illustrated in the X-ray image (820) responsive to an operator interface with the interactive overlay display of the virtual confirmation marker (801). The C-arm registration controller (830) adjusts the registration of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800) based on the misalignment correction.
