Abstract
Disclosed is a system to assist in a procedure. During the procedure an object may be moved relative to a subject, such as being positioned and/or placed within a subject. The system and related method may be used to assist in displaying and/or determining a pose of the object relative to a subject, such as rigid portions of a subject.
Claims18
A method of automatically determining a geometry of an implant, comprising:
- accessing image data of a subject having identified at least a first portion and a second portion of the subject;
- determining a pose of the implant relative to a pose of the first portion of the subject and a pose of the second portion of the subject, wherein the implant includes at least a first portion independently moveable relative to a second implant portion;
- determining a geometry of a region of interest between the first portion of the subject and the second portion of the subject with a processor;
- determining a geometry of the implant including the first implant portion and the second implant portion in the determined pose of the implant based at least on the determined geometry of the region of interest and wherein the geometry of the implant includes at least a shape that is operable to fit within an external boundary defined and determined by the determined geometry of the region of interest with the processor;
- and
- displaying the determined geometry of the implant for assisting in performing a procedure.

A method of determining a geometry of an implant for a surgical procedure, the method comprising:
- accessing image data of a subject having identified at least a first portion of the subject and a second portion of the subject;
- determining a pose of the first portion of the subject based on tracking the first portion;
- determining a pose of the second portion of the subject based on tracking the second portion;
- determining a geometry of a region of interest between the first portion of the subject and the second portion of the subject with a processor based on the determined pose of the first portion of the subject and the determined pose of the second portion of the subject;
- determining a pose of the implant relative to the first portion of the subject and the second portion of the subject, wherein the implant includes a configurable portion operable to be independently moved relative to a rigid portion;
- determining whether the implant has at least a configurable portion contacting at the first portion of the subject based on the determined pose of the implant;
- determining a geometry of the implant in the determined pose of the implant based at least on the determination of whether the configurable portion is contacting at least one of the first portion or the second portion, wherein the geometry of the implant in the determined pose of the implant includes at least a shape that is operable to fit within an external boundary determined and defined by the determined geometry of the region of interest with the processor.
