Abstract
Systems and methods for touchless registration using a reference frame adapter is provided. A first image of a region of a patient and a second image of the region of the patient and a reference frame adapter may be received. The reference frame adapter may be configured to selectively attach to a patient reference frame positioned near the region of the patient. The second image may be registered to the first image based on the reference frame adapter.
Claims20
A system for contactless registration comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
- receive a first image of a region of a patient;
- receive a second image of the region of the patient and a reference frame adapter, the reference frame adapter configured to selectively attach to a patient reference frame positioned near the region of the patient;
- and
- register the second image to the first image based on the reference frame adapter.
A system for contactless registration comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
- receive a first image of a region of a patient;
- receive a second image of the region of the patient and an electromagnetic (EM) reference frame adapter, the EM reference frame adapter configured to selectively attach to a patient EM tracker positioned near the region of the patient;
- and
- register the second image to the first image based on the reference frame adapter.
A system for contactless registration comprising:
- a navigation system configured to track a patient reference frame;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
- receive a first image of a region of a patient;
- receive a second image of the region of the patient and a reference frame adapter, the reference frame adapter configured to selectively attach to a patient reference frame positioned near the region of the patient;
- register the second image to the first image based on the reference frame adapter;
- and
- cause the navigation system to track the patient reference frame.
