Abstract
A method or system for using an augmented reality device may include displaying information in a surgical field. A method may include receiving an indication of a location of a landmark on a bone of a patient, retrieving a planned location of the landmark on the bone of the patient and receiving information corresponding to the location or the planned location. The location or the planned location may be displayed as a virtual indication using an augmented reality display of the augmented reality device, for example while permitting the surgical field to be viewed through the augmented reality display.
Claims20
A method for using an augmented reality device in a surgical field comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, an indication of a location of a landmark on a bone of a patient;
- retrieving, using the processor, a planned location of the landmark on the bone of the patient based on a pre-operative image of the bone of the patient;
- presenting within the surgical field, using an augmented reality display of the augmented reality device, while permitting the surgical field to be viewed through the augmented reality display, a virtual indication of the landmark at the location and a virtual indication of the landmark at the planned location;
- and
- receiving, at the processor, a confirmation of the location of the landmark.
An augmented reality device in a surgical field comprising:
- a processor;
- memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations to:
- receive an indication of a location of a landmark on a bone of a patient;
- retrieve a planned location of the landmark on the bone of the patient based on a pre-operative image of the bone of the patient;
- and
- receive a confirmation of the location of the landmark;
- and
- an augmented reality display to, before the processor receives the confirmation, present within the surgical field while permitting the surgical field to be viewed through the augmented reality display, a virtual indication of the landmark at the location and a virtual indication of the landmark at the planned location.
At least one machine-readable medium including instructions for operating an augmented reality device in a surgical field, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations to:
- retrieving a plurality of planned locations corresponding to each of a plurality of landmarks on a bone of a patient based on pre-operative imaging of the bone of the patient;
- presenting within the surgical field, using an augmented reality display of the augmented reality device, while permitting the surgical field to be viewed through the augmented reality display, virtual indications of the plurality of landmarks at the plurality of planned locations;
- and
- receiving a confirmation of a first planned location as presented using the augmented reality display for a first landmark of the plurality of landmarks;
- and
- receiving a change to a second planned location as presented using the augmented reality display for a second landmark of the plurality of landmarks.
