  • Publication number: 20240122562
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying an implant in an x-ray image of an anatomy shown on a display screen. The method includes: displaying the image including an artifact of the implant; prompting a user to enter parameters of the implant; displaying a rendering of the implant over the image; prompting the user to position the rendering on the artifact at an accurate position corresponding to an actual position of the implant; alerting the user when the rendering is at an inaccurate position; prompting the user to reposition the rendering from the inaccurate position to the accurate position; alerting the user when the rendering is maneuvered by the user to the accurate position; and after the rendering has been maneuvered to the accurate position by the user, reconstructing the x-ray image to replace the artifact with the rendering affixed in the accurate position.
