Systems and user interfaces for dynamic interaction with two- and three-dimensional medical image data using spatial positioning of mobile devices

A medical image computing system comprising:

• a mobile computing device including at least an electronic display;
• one or more sensors configured to provide spatial position and/or motion information associated with the mobile computing device;
• a storage device configured to store electronic software instructions;
• and
• one or more computer processors in communication with the electronic display, the one or more sensors, and the storage device, the one or more computer processors configured to execute the stored software instructions to cause the computing system to:
• provide a user interface on the electronic display, the user interface configured to display medical image data on the electronic display;
• determine, based on the spatial position and/or motion information provided by the one or more sensors, a first spatial position of the mobile computing device in a physical space;
• determine a fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data in a virtual space corresponding to the physical space, wherein the fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data corresponds to a fixed physical spatial position in the physical space;
• receive, via the mobile computing device, a user input initially selecting the fixed virtual spatial position, wherein the fixed virtual spatial position is fixed relative to the physical space;
• determine, based on the first spatial position of the mobile computing device relative to the fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data, at least a first portion of the medical image data viewable via the electronic display;
• update the user interface to include the first portion of the medical image data such that the first portion of the medical image data is displayed on the electronic display;
• receive an indication from the one or more sensors of a movement of the mobile computing device from the first spatial position and relative to the fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data initially selected via the user input;
• calculate, based on the spatial position and/or motion information provided by the one or more sensors, a position difference between the first spatial position and a second spatial position of the mobile computing device;
• determine, based on the position difference, the second spatial position of the mobile computing device in the physical space and relative to the fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data initially selected via the user input;
• automatically determine, based on the calculated second position difference and/or the second spatial position of the mobile computing device relative to the fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data initially selected via the user input, at least a second portion of the medical image data viewable via the electronic display;
• and
• update the user interface to include the second portion of the medical image data such that the second portion of the medical image data is displayed on the electronic display, wherein the second portion of the medical image data is virtually positioned relative to the fixed virtual spatial position of the medical image data initially selected via the user input.
