Patent number: 11928828Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a spatial relationship between planning image data and current surface data which leads to improved surface registration accuracy by considering the elasticity and deformability of the tissue. The knowledge about the tissue can be estimated based on type of tissue and atlas information. For the process of generating surface registration points on specific anatomical regions, e.g. the face or forehead, are acquired with a classical navigated pointer or laser pointer. It is also possible to acquire points with surface scanners. Confidence values defining a probability for certain parts of the surface registration points being deformed in comparison to a planning image are read from atlas data and used to compensate for the deformation in the registration between the surface registration points and the planning image in order to render the registration valid.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: BRAINLAB AGInventor: Sebastian Stopp
