Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods used to register medical image data with anatomical positions are disclosed. The image data is captured by an imaging system over a period of time. The positions are determined by one or more modalities over the period of time. The positions are collected into position data, and determinations are made as to which position data is best for registering the image data with patient anatomy and for reconstructing 3D images of the patient anatomy.
Claims20
A method for registering image data with anatomy of a patient, the method comprising:
- capturing, via an imaging system, image data of patient anatomy for a period of time;
- determining, via a plurality of modalities, position data of the patient anatomy during the period of time that the image data is being captured;
- and
- correcting inaccuracies in the image data using the position data.
A system comprising:
- a first modality configured to capture a first set of position data of patient anatomy;
- a second modality configured to capture a second set of position data of patient anatomy;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive image data of a patient;
- receive the first set of position data of patient anatomy and the second set of position data of patient anatomy;
- and
- correct inaccuracies in the image data using the first set of position data of patient anatomy and the second set of position data of patient anatomy.
A computing apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
- capture, via an imaging system, image data of patient anatomy for a period of time;
- determine, via a plurality of modalities, position data of the patient anatomy during the period of time that the image data is being captured;
- and
- register the image data with the patient anatomy based on the position data of the patient anatomy.
