Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing method of determining a transformation for transforming medical image data into a positional reference system, the method being executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring, from a medical imaging apparatus (5), medical image data comprising medical image information describing a two-dimensional image of an anatomical body part (1); b) acquiring medical image selection data comprising medical image selection information describing a selection (4) from the medical image information; c) acquiring imaging apparatus characteristic data comprising imaging apparatus characteristic information describing an imaging characteristic of the medical imaging apparatus (5); d) determining, based on the medical image data, medical image selection data and imaging apparatus characteristic data, selection position data comprising selection position information describing a three-dimensional position of an anatomical structure (2) in the anatomical body part

Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing method of determining a positional transformation (T, M) for correcting the registration of an anatomical body part with a medical imaging apparatus, the method being executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring initial body part position data comprising initial body part position information describing an initial relative position (1) between the medical imaging apparatus and the anatomical body part; b) acquiring, from the medical imaging apparatus, body part medical image data comprising body part medical image information describing an image of the anatomical body part; c) acquiring, based on the body part medical imaging data, actual body part position data comprising actual body part position information describing an actual relative position (2, 4) between the anatomical body part and the medical imaging apparatus; d) determining, based on the actual body part position data and the initial body part position data, body part position

Abstract: The invention relates to an intra-operative image presentation method, in which an image representation (30) of a branched body structure which has been graphically segmented from a medical image data set is presented on a display, in particular a monitor (17), wherein the viewing situation of a person looking at the display and any changes in said viewing situation are determined, and the image representation is modified accordingly by adapting the image representation (30) to the changes in the viewing situation.
