Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to Registration Engine. The Registration Engine tracks positions of a fiducial marker relative to positions of an Augmented Reality (AR) headset device worn by a user. The Registration Engine receives respective registration landmarks that correspond with locations of a physical region of a patient's anatomy and the tracked positions of the fiducial marker. The Registration Engine generates an AR display of medical data at the AR headset device in alignment with the physical region of a patient's anatomy that corresponds with the respective registration landmarks.

Abstract: A surgical fiducial marker positioner can include a rigid frame and a positioner coupling component. The rigid frame can support a plurality of surgical fiducial markers at fixed positions relative to each other along the rigid frame to form a fixed positional arrangement of surgical fiducial markers. The rigid frame can define a polygon arranged along a plane and the fixed positional arrangement of surgical fiducial markers can be asymmetrical. The positioner coupling component can be coupled to the rigid frame and can be configured to couple the surgical fiducial marker positioner to a separate surgical component at fixed position(s) relative to the separate surgical component, which can be a spinous process clamp. The surgical fiducial marker positioner can also include the surgical fiducial markers and fiducial marker couplers that removably couple the surgical fiducial markers to the rigid frame at the fixed positions.

Abstract: A spinous process clamp can include opposing arms, opposing gripping components, an adjustable spacing arrangement, and a coupling component. Each arm can have a top distal end, a midsection, and a bottom distal end. Each gripping component can be located proximate the bottom distal end of an arm and can be configured to grip a side of a spinous process. The arms can be pivotally coupled about their midsections to adjust the distance between the gripping components. The adjustable spacing arrangement can be coupled to the arms proximate their top distal ends and can be configured to adjust and maintain a pivoted position of the arms. The coupling component can be coupled to the top distal end of and arm and can be configured to rotationally couple the spinous process clamp to a separate surgical component, which can be a surgical fiducial marker positioner.
