  • Publication number: 20260020919
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented of adapting a biomechanical model of an anatomical body part of a patient to a current status of the patient. The method encompasses determination of a currently executed step of a workflow such as a medical intervention, the result of the determination serving as a basis for adapting and/or updating a biomechanical model of an anatomical body part to the corresponding current status of the patient. The determination of the current workflow step may also be used as basis for controlling an imaging device for tracking entities around the patient or for imaging the anatomical body part or acquiring further data or for urging the user to perform a specific action such as acquisition of information using a tracked instrument such as a pointer. The biomechanical model has been generated from atlas data.
