Abstract: An AR headset is described to co-localize an image data set with a body of a person. One method can include identifying optical codes with a contrast medium in a tubing on the body of the person using the AR headset. The image data set can be aligned with the body of the person using the fixed position of the image visible marker with the contrast medium in the tubing with respect to the optical code referenced to a representation of the image visible marker. In one configuration, an image data set can be scaled by comparing a measured size of the image visible marker (e.g., gadolinium tubing) in the captured image data set to the known size of the image visible marker. In addition, a center of an optical code may be identified to more accurately align the image data set with a body of a person.

Abstract: A technology is described for using a medical implement or a fluoroscopic image with reference to an image data set and a body of a person. A method may include detecting visual image data of a body of a patient and a medical implement. The optical codes on the body of the patient and on the medical implement may be identified. One operation is aligning the image data set with the body of the person using one or more optical codes on the body of the person and the fixed position of an image visible marker with respect to the optical code. A position of the medical implement with respect to the body of the person may be determined using one or more optical codes on the medical implement and the body of the person to reference the medical implement to the image data set and the body of the person.

Abstract: Technology is described for augmenting medical imaging for use in a medical procedure. The method can include the operation of receiving an image of patient anatomy captured by a visual image camera during the medical procedure. An acquired medical image associated with the patient anatomy can then be retrieved. Another operation can be associating the acquired medical image to the patient anatomy. An augmentation tag associated with a location in one layer of the acquired medical image can be retrieved. A further operation can be projecting the acquired medical image and the augmentation tag using an augmented reality headset to form a single graphical view as an overlay to the patient anatomy in either 2D, 3D or holographic form.

Abstract: Technology is described to adjust for eye location variations of a user when using an augmented reality (AR) headset. The method can include registering a position and size of an optical code using a visual camera and the AR headset. An alignment marker may be projected through the AR headset to be aligned with the optical code for a right eye and left eye of a user of the AR headset. Right eye and left eye adjustments to the alignment marker may be received independently to align the alignment marker with a portion of the optical code as viewed by either the right eye or left eye of the user. The left eye adjustments and right eye adjustments may be applied to virtual images displayed through the AR headset in order to improve the accuracy of alignment between objects in the physical view and the virtual images displayed using the AR headset.

Abstract: A technology is described for using a medical implement or a fluoroscopic image with reference to an image data set and a body of a person. A method may include detecting visual image data of a body of a patient and a medical implement. The optical codes on the body of the patient and on the medical implement may be identified. One operation is aligning the image data set with the body of the person using one or more optical codes on the body of the person and the fixed position of an image visible marker with respect to the optical code. A position of the medical implement with respect to the body of the person may be determined using one or more optical codes on the medical implement and the body of the person to reference the medical implement to the image data set and the body of the person.

Abstract: Technology is described for incorporating statistical strength from neighboring voxels in an fMRI image. The method can include the operation of capturing an fMRI image of a human organ and the fMRI image includes statistical values for voxels in order to detect changes associated with blood flow representing organ activity. The statistics of the fMRI image can be upsampled to a larger coordinate size. Another operation can be resampling the statistical values of the fMRI image to improve the statistical strength for target voxels in the fMRI by identifying strong statistical values in neighboring voxels in a defined neighborhood of the target voxels and improving statistical values of the target voxels using the strong statistical values. The statistics of the fMRI image can integrated into a region of interest identified for the human organ to improve data values of the target voxels while retaining regional boundaries.

Abstract: A method of creating a panoramic peripheral image may include identifying a virtual observer at a position in a modeled scene. Peripheral images of the modeled scene may be obtained, including views at multiple angles from the virtual observer. The peripheral images may be arranged to depict a panoramic peripheral view of the modeled scene.
