Patent number: 11317982Abstract: Circuits and computer program products onboard and/or adapted to communicate with an scanner that electronically recognize predefined physical characteristics of the at least one tool to automatically segment image data provided by the scanner whereby the at least one tool constitutes a point of interface with the system. The circuits and computer program products are configured to provide a User Interface that defines workflow progression for an image guided surgical procedure and allows a user to select steps in the workflow, and generate multi-dimensional visualizations using the predefined data of the at least one tool and data from images of the patient in substantially real time during the surgical procedure.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.Inventors: Kimble Jenkins, Peter Piferi, Philip Bradley Hotte, Pavel Farberov, Timothy Neil Orr, Paul Arthur Geiger, David John Sayler

Patent number: 9466093Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method of determining anterior commissure (AC) and posterior commissure (PC) points in a volumetric neuroradiological image. The method includes determining, by a computer, a mid-sagittal plane estimate to extract a mid-sagittal plane image from the volumetric neuroradiological image, and AC and PC point estimates in the mid-sagittal plane image. The method further includes determining, by the computer, a refined mid-sagittal plane estimate from the AC and PC point estimates to extract a refined mid-sagittal plane image, the AC point from the refined mid-sagittal plane image, and the PC point from the refined mid-sagittal plane image and the AC point.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Cedara Software Corp.Inventor: Paul Arthur Geiger
