Abstract
A method of viewing a patient including inserting a catheter is described for health procedure navigation. A CT scan is carried out on a body part of a patient. Raw data from the CT scan is processed to create three-dimensional image data, storing the image data in the data store. Projectors receive generated light in a pattern representative of the image data and waveguides guide the light to a retina of an eye of a viewer while light from an external surface of the body transmits to the retina of the eye so that the viewer sees the external surface of the body augmented with the processed data rendering of the body part.
Claims25
A method of viewing a patient comprising:
- inserting a tip of a catheter into a body of a patient;
- detecting movement of the tip with a tip tracking device;
- receiving a measurement based on movement detected by the tip tracking device;
- determining a position of the tip based on the measurement;
- storing the position of the tip;
- determining left and right image data sets based on the position of the tip;
- generating light in a pattern representative of the position of the tip using left and right projectors projecting the left and right image data sets respectively as light;
- and
- guiding the light to retinas of left and right eyes of a viewer so that the viewer sees position of the tip, the left and right image data sets differing from one another to give the viewer a perception of a three-dimensional rendering.
