  • Patent number: 12582481
    Abstract: An anatomy visualization device may include a display, an optical sensor, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to capture, via the optical sensor, body registration points on a body of an individual, receive external anatomical measurements of the body, apply the external anatomical measurements to a body shape model, and determine an organ placement prediction for the body based on the application of external anatomical measurements to the body shape model. The organ placement prediction may include organ position information, organ size information, and organ shape information for a plurality of organs. The processing circuitry may also align the organ placement prediction with the body registration points and render, on the display, the organ placement prediction in alignment with the body registration points as an augmented reality object on the body.
