Abstract
The present disclosure relates, in part, to a scanning sufficiency apparatus that computes whether a handheld scanning device has scanned a volume for a sufficiently long time for there to be detections and then indicate to the user that the time is sufficient in 3-D rendered voxels. Also described is a hand held medical navigation apparatus with system and methods to map targets inside a patient's body.
Claims21
A radiation position sensitive apparatus, comprising:
- a housing assembly having a longitudinal axis;
- a gamma ray probe at least partially enclosed within the housing assembly;
- a tracking camera at least partially enclosed within the housing assembly, the tracking camera having a tracking field of view, the tracking camera disposed at a predetermined proximity to the gamma ray probe;
- at least one processor and a memory operatively coupled with the tracking camera, the memory having instructions for execution by the at least one processor for:
- calculating a spatial position and orientation of images taken by the tracking camera with respect to an object;
- and
- associating scanning data from the gamma ray probe with the calculated spatial position and orientation of the images to determine a position and orientation of the scanning data using the known proximity of the gamma ray probe to the tracking camera.

A medical navigation apparatus, comprising:
- a housing assembly;
- a sensor probe at least partially enclosed within the housing assembly;
- a tracking camera at least partially enclosed within the housing assembly, the tracking camera pointing outward from the housing assembly, the tracking camera disposed at a predetermined position and orientation with respect to the probe;
- at least one processor and a memory operatively coupled with the tracking camera, the memory having instructions for execution by the at least one processor for:
- calculating a spatial position and orientation of the tracking camera with respect to an object based on an image that includes the object;
- and
- computing a spatial position and orientation of the sensor probe;
- and
- associating scanning data from the probe with the computed spatial position and orientation of the sensor probe.
