  • Publication number: 20230263498
    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a system for calibrating an X-ray image. The system may receive an X-ray image of an anatomical part of a patient. The system may further receive a 3-D surface scan of a surface of the patient where the anatomical part is located. The system may derive a measurement correction to apply to measurements of the X-ray image based on the 3-D surface scan. The measurement correction may account for: an orientation of the patient with respect to the X-ray detector plate, a first distance between the patient and the detector plate, or a second distance between the patient and an X-ray source used to generate the X-ray image. The system may further determine a corrected measurement of the anatomical part based on the measurement correction and a measurement taken from the X-ray image.

  • Publication number: 20220409158
    Abstract: Systems and methods of radiograph correction and visualization are disclosed. Certain embodiments provide a method for generating a 3D model of at least part of one anatomical object based on one or more radiographs. The method further includes positioning the 3D model based on information indicative of a normalized projection comprising information indicative of a desired position and orientation of the at least part of one anatomical object with respect to the projection plane. The method further includes generating a 2D projection of the 3D model onto the projection plane. The method further includes generating one or more modified radiographs of the at least part of one anatomical object based on the 2D projection.
