Abstract: A medical data processing method of determining anatomical structure subset data describing a subset of a graphical representation 9 of an anatomical structure of a patient's body to be displayed simultaneously with a medical image of an anatomical body part 1, the method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring predetermined anatomical structure representation data describing a graphical representation of the anatomical structure and its position in the patient's body; b) acquiring anatomical body part image data describing an image of an anatomical body part 1 of the patient imaged by an optical imaging apparatus 2 for display by a display apparatus 3; c) acquiring optical parameter data describing an optical parameter WD serving as a basis for displaying the anatomical body part image data; d) determining, based on the anatomical structure representation data and the anatomical body part image data and the optical parameter data, anatomical structure s

Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing method of determining a transformation for transforming medical image data into a positional reference system, the method being executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring, from a medical imaging apparatus (5), medical image data comprising medical image information describing a two-dimensional image of an anatomical body part (1); b) acquiring medical image selection data comprising medical image selection information describing a selection (4) from the medical image information; c) acquiring imaging apparatus characteristic data comprising imaging apparatus characteristic information describing an imaging characteristic of the medical imaging apparatus (5); d) determining, based on the medical image data, medical image selection data and imaging apparatus characteristic data, selection position data comprising selection position information describing a three-dimensional position of an anatomical structure (2) in the anatomical body part

Abstract: The invention relates to a data processing method of determining a positional transformation (T, M) for correcting the registration of an anatomical body part with a medical imaging apparatus, the method being executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring initial body part position data comprising initial body part position information describing an initial relative position (1) between the medical imaging apparatus and the anatomical body part; b) acquiring, from the medical imaging apparatus, body part medical image data comprising body part medical image information describing an image of the anatomical body part; c) acquiring, based on the body part medical imaging data, actual body part position data comprising actual body part position information describing an actual relative position (2, 4) between the anatomical body part and the medical imaging apparatus; d) determining, based on the actual body part position data and the initial body part position data, body part position

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the spatial development of tumor tissue, by acquiring patient medical image data describing sequences of patient medical images of tumors in parts of patient bodies, wherein the patient medical images of each sequence have been taken at subsequent points in time and each sequence has been taken tier a different patient; determining, by additively fusing subsequent patient medical images of each sequence to one another, patient spatial development data describing the spatial development of a tumor in each patient body; acquiring atlas data describing an atlas representation of the parts of patient bodies; determining, based on the atlas data and the patient development data, development probability data describing a probability for a spatial development of a tumor.
