US 2022/0015735 A1 · MARKER REGISTRATION CORRECTION BY VIRTUAL MODEL MANIPULATION

Abstract

Various embodiments for X-ray imaging system employs a C-arm registration controller (830) for controlling a registration of a C-arm (60) to an X-ray marker (800) based on a generation by the C-arm (60) of an X-ray image (820) illustrative of the X-ray marker (800). The system further employs a registration confirmation controller (840) for controlling an interactive overlay display of a virtual confirmation marker (801) onto a display of the X-ray image (820) based on the registration of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800), and for controlling a misalignment correction of the interactive overlay display of the virtual confirmation marker (801) relative to the X-ray marker (800) as illustrated in the X-ray image (820) responsive to an operator interface with the interactive overlay display of the virtual confirmation marker (801). The C-arm registration controller (830) adjusts the registration of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800) based on the misalignment correction.

Dependent claims

An X-ray imaging system, comprising:

a C-arm registration controller (830) configured to control a registration of a C-arm (60) to an X-ray marker (800) based on a generation by the C-arm (60) of an X-ray image (820) illustrative of the X-ray marker (800);
a registration confirmation controller (840) for confirming the registration of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800),
wherein the registration confirmation controller (840) is configured to control an interactive overlay display of a virtual confirmation marker ( 801) onto a display of the X-ray image (820) based on the registration by the C-arm registration controller (830) of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800), and
wherein the registration confirmation controller (840) is further configured to control a misalignment correction of the interactive overlay display of the virtual confirmation marker ( 801) relative to the X-ray marker (800) as illustrated in the X-ray image (820) responsive to an operator interface with the interactive overlay display of the virtual confirmation marker ( 801);
and
wherein the C-arm registration controller (830) is further configured to adjust the registration of the C-arm (60) to the X-ray marker (800) based on the misalignment correction.
