Abstract: This document relates to technologies of projecting an incision marker onto a patient using a movable gantry carrying a medical imaging system and at least one laser which is adjustable relative to the gantry. The medical imaging system is used for capturing a fluoroscopic or x-ray image of at least a part of the patient from a viewing direction. Then a virtual marker is set in the captured image in order to indicate a point or region of interest, for example as a point or at least one line of an incision. Then the laser is used to indicate, from a projection direction different from the viewing direction, the point or region of interest onto the surface of the patient, thus making the point or region of interest visible from the outside.

Abstract: This document relates to determining the configuration of a medical imaging system, in particular a configuration which defines a desired viewing direction of the medical imaging system onto a patient. First, a fluoroscopic image of at least a part of a patient is captured using the medical imaging system and the target central beam is set in the fluoroscopic image. Then a target line in space is determined which, when projected into the fluoroscopic image, coincides with the set target central beam. Then the configuration of the medical imaging system is determined such that the central beam of the medical imaging system coincides with the target line in space.

Abstract: Provided is a medical imaging apparatus having an AR-visualization module operably coupled to a camera and to a position determination module, which is adapted to create an AR-image based on an image received from the camera and an AR-overlay positionally registered with the image, and which includes a display interface adapted to transmit the created AR-image to a medical display.

Abstract: The present application relates to a computer-implemented medical method of determining a patient-specific setting of at least one imaging parameter of an imaging device. The method includes patient data being acquired, describing information relating to a patient and having impact on the setting of at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device, and imaging parameter data being determined based on the patient data, describing a patient-specific setting of the at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device.

Abstract: The present application relates to a computer-implemented medical method of determining a patient-specific setting of at least one imaging parameter of an imaging device. The method includes acquiring patient data describing information relating to a patient and having impact on the setting of at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device and acquiring object data describing at least one property of at least one object of interest associated with the anatomy of the patient. The imaging parameter data is determined based on the patient data, describing a patient-specific setting of the at least one imaging parameter of the imaging device.
