  • Publication number: 20230363822
    Abstract: A method for visualizing a planned implant. The method includes obtaining image data representative of an anatomical element, obtaining implant data indicative of geometrical properties of an implant to be implanted into the anatomical element, and obtaining planning data indicative of a planned pose of the implant. Based on the obtained data, a first part of the implant that lies inside the anatomical element, and a second part of the implant that does not lie inside the at least one anatomical element are determined. A display of a visualization indicating the first part distinguishably from the second part is triggered. The disclosure also relates to a system and a computer program.

  • Publication number: 20230363823
    Abstract: A method for guiding a surgeon on how to adapt a pre-planned position of an implant interface. The implant interface is configured to couple to an implant connector configured to connect the implant interface with an implant interface of another implant. The method is performed by a processing system and comprises obtaining a pre-planned position of an implant interface, obtaining reference positions of the implant interface, determining a deviation between the pre-planned position and the reference positions, and triggering display of a visualization comprising an indication of the deviation to guide a surgeon on how to adapt the pre-planned position of the implant interface. A system and a computer program are also described.

  • Publication number: 20230127963
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing guidance to a user on where to arrange an object of interest in an operating room. The method includes obtaining a spatial pose of an item arranged within the operating room and obtaining a requirement on a spatial relationship between an object of interest and the item. The method also includes determining (a) a first spatial portion in which the object of interest is recommended to be arranged, the first spatial portion being larger than the object of interest, and/or (b) a second spatial portion in which the object of interest is not allowed to be arranged. Moreover, the method includes triggering display of a visualization of the first and/or second spatial portion to guide a user on where to arrange the first object of interest in the operating room.

  • Publication number: 20220370147
    Abstract: A method of providing user guidance. First patient image data of a patient's body is obtained. A registration instruction indicative of where to acquire a registration point relative to a surface of the body is determined. Second patient image data of the body, having been acquired by an augmented reality device, is obtained. A transformation between coordinate systems of the first and the second patient image data is determined. Based on the transformation, display of the registration instruction on a display of the AR device is triggered such that a user of the AR device is presented an augmented view with the registration instruction being overlaid onto the patient's body. The augmented view guides the user where to acquire the registration point. Also disclosed are a computing system, a surgical navigation system, and a computer program product.

  • Patent number: 11227441
    Abstract: A method of calibrating a registration of an augmented reality device 2 comprised in a surgical navigation system 100 is provided. The method comprises obtaining a first transformation 38 between a coordinate system 40 of the augmented reality device 2 and a reference coordinate system 42 of the surgical navigation system 100, a second transformation 44 between a coordinate system of a reference object 24 and the reference coordinate system 42 and obtaining geometrical properties of the reference object 24. The method further comprises determining a visual representation 34 of the reference object 24 to be displayed by the augmented reality device 2 and obtaining at least one first viewing direction 56 of a user using the augmented reality device 2, the at least one first viewing direction 56 being associated with the reference coordinate system 42.

  • Publication number: 20210212768
    Abstract: A method, a surgical registration device, a sensor device, a system, a computer program, a computer-readable medium and a data carrier signal are disclosed. The surgical registration device comprises a surface, an optical pattern on the surface, and an interface unit to attach to a tracking system. The method comprises obtaining an image of the surgical registration device, detecting the at least one optical pattern in the image, obtaining surface model data describing the surface, obtaining a location of the optical pattern with respect to the surface, determining, based on the detected optical pattern, the surface model data and the location of the optical pattern, a second pose of the surface, obtaining depth information describing three-dimensional coordinates of the surface and determining, based on the second pose, the surface model data and the depth information, a third pose of the surface of the surgical registration device.
