METHOD FOR PLANNING A RECORDING OF AN X-RAY IMAGE OF A PATIENT BY AN X-RAY SYSTEM, AND OVERALL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18198924 titled 'METHOD FOR PLANNING A RECORDING OF AN X-RAY IMAGE OF A PATIENT BY AN X-RAY SYSTEM, AND OVERALL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for planning a recording of an X-ray image of a patient using an X-ray system and a mobile device with a display area.

  • The method involves capturing at least one first recording of a specific region of the patient using a capturing apparatus, such as an optical camera.
  • A patient model of the patient's anatomy is created based on the captured recordings.
  • The position and orientation of the mobile device are also captured.
  • Using the patient model, the first recording, and the position/orientation of the mobile device, a virtual X-ray image of at least one part of the patient is generated.
  • The virtual X-ray image is then displayed on the display area of the mobile device.

This innovation allows for better planning and visualization of X-ray recordings by utilizing a mobile device and virtual imaging technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for planning a recording of an X-ray image of a patient by an X-ray system. The X-ray system includes a recording system that may be adjusted into a large number of projection geometries with an X-ray source and an X-ray detector, using a mobile device comprising a display area. The method includes creating at least one first recording of a recording region of the patient by a capturing apparatus, for example an optical camera, providing a patient model of the patient anatomy of the patient, capturing the position and orientation of the manually positioned mobile device, creating a virtual X-ray image of at least one part of the patient using the patient model, at least the first recording and the position and/or orientation of the mobile device, and displaying the virtual X-ray image on the display area of the mobile device.
