SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGISTERING A 3D REPRESENTATION OF A PATIENT WITH A MEDICAL DEVICE FOR PATIENT ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054745 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGISTERING A 3D REPRESENTATION OF A PATIENT WITH A MEDICAL DEVICE FOR PATIENT ALIGNMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to a mixed reality visualization system for medical devices. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A series of images of a scene, including a medical device and a tracking device, are obtained using a head-mounted display.
  • The relative pose information, which indicates the spatial relationship between the tracking device and the medical device, is accessed.
  • The 3D representation of the patient is registered with the medical device using the series of images and the relative pose information.
  • A mixed reality visualization of the 3D representation of the patient and the medical device is generated based on the results of the registering.
  • The mixed reality visualization can include a visual indication of the alignment of the patient with the 3D representation.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical training and education: The mixed reality visualization can be used to simulate medical procedures and provide a realistic training environment for medical professionals.
  • Surgical planning: Surgeons can use the mixed reality visualization to plan surgeries and visualize the patient's anatomy in relation to the medical device.
  • Patient education: The mixed reality visualization can help patients understand their medical condition and the proposed treatment by visualizing the 3D representation of their own anatomy.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate alignment: The system allows for precise alignment of the patient's anatomy with the 3D representation, improving the accuracy of medical procedures.
  • Visualization of complex medical devices: The mixed reality visualization helps visualize and understand the spatial relationship between the medical device and the patient's anatomy.
  • Real-time tracking: The tracking device enables real-time tracking of the patient's movements, ensuring that the mixed reality visualization remains aligned with the patient.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved surgical outcomes: The accurate alignment and visualization provided by the system can lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced risks.
  • Enhanced patient understanding: The mixed reality visualization helps patients better understand their medical condition and treatment options, leading to improved patient satisfaction and compliance.
  • Efficient medical training: Medical professionals can benefit from realistic training scenarios and improved spatial understanding of medical devices, leading to more efficient and effective training.


Original Abstract Submitted

according to at least one aspect, a series of images of a scene are obtained, such as by a head mounted display. the scene includes a medical device and a tracking device, and the series of images including at least the tracking device. relative pose information indicative of a relative spatial relationship between the tracking device and the medical device is accessed, the 3d representation of the patient is registered with the medical device using the series of images of the scene and the relative pose information, and a mixed reality visualization of the 3d representation of the patient and the medical device generating, based on results of the registering. the mixed reality visualization can further include a visual indication indicative of an alignment of the patient with the 3d representation.
