    摘要: Methods and apparatuses to generate stereoscopic views for image guided surgical navigation. One embodiment includes transforming a first image of a scene into a second image of the scene according to a mapping between two views of the scene. Another embodiment includes generating a stereoscopic display of the scene using a first image and a second image of a scene during a surgical procedure, where a position and orientation of an imaging device is at least partially changed to capture the first and second images from different viewpoints. A further embodiment includes: determining a real time location of a probe relative to a patient during a surgical procedure; determining a pair of virtual viewpoints according to the real time location of the probe; and generating a virtual stereoscopic image showing the probe relative to the patient, according to the determined pair of virtual viewpoints.

    摘要: Systems, apparati and methods for mapping a virtual model of a real object, such as a body part, to the real object are presented. Such virtual model can be generated, for example, from an imaging scan of the object, for example, using MRI, CT, etc. A camera with a probe fixed thereto can be moved relative to the object until a video image of the object captured by the camera appears to coincide on a video screen with the virtual model which is shown fixed on that screen. The position of the camera in a real coordinate system can be sensed, and the position in a virtual coordinate system of the virtual model relative to a virtual camera, by which the view of the virtual model on the screen is notionally captured, can be predetermined and known. From this, the position of the virtual model relative to the object can be mapped and a transform generated to position the object in the virtual coordinate system to approximately coincide with the virtual model. After completion of such an initial registration process, a second, refined, registration process can be initiated. Such refined registration process can include acquiring a large number of real points on the surface of the object. Such points can, for example, then be processed using an iterative closest point measure to generate a second, more accurate transform between the object and its virtual model. Further, the refined registration processing can be iterated and more and more accurate transforms generated until a termination condition is met and a final transform generated. Using the final transform generated by this process the virtual model can be positioned in the real coordinate system to substantially exactly coincide with the object.

    摘要: An improved system and method for macroscopic and microscopic surgical navigation and visualization are presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention an integrated system can include a computer which has stored three dimensional representations of a patient's internal anatomy, a display, a probe and an operation microscope. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention reference markers can be attached to the probe and the microscope, and the system can also include a tracking system which can track the 3D position and orientation of each of the probe and microscope. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a system can include means for detecting changes in the imaging parameters of the microscope, such as, for example, magnification and focus, which occur as a result of user adjustment and operation of the microscope. The microscope can have, for example, a focal point position relative to the markers attached to the microscope and can, for example, be calibrated in the full range of microscope focus. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the position of the microscope can be obtained from the tracking data regarding the microscope and the focus can be obtained from, for example, a sensor integrated with the microscope. Additionally, a tip position of the probe can also be obtained from the tracking data of the reference markers on the probe, and means can be provided for registration of virtual representations of patient anatomical data with real images from one or more cameras on each of the probe and the microscope. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention visualization and navigation can be provided by each of the microscope and the probe, and when both are active the system can intelligently display a microscopic or a macroscopic (probe based) augmented image according to defined rules.
