Abstract
Disclosed is a system to plan and position an implant in a subject. The planned position may be based upon various features and structures identified in a group of subjects for a current subject. The implant may then be positioned in a selected position including a relative position and orientation of one or more electrodes on the implant which may be identified as an optimal position for the selected current subject.
Claims20
A method of imaging a subject, comprising:
- providing a plurality of ultrasound transducers relative to a subject;
- determining a pose of a device relative to at least one of the subject or the plurality of ultrasound transducers;
- determining at least one ultrasound transducer of the plurality of ultrasound transducers for acquiring image data of the subject based at least on the determined pose of the device relative to at least one of the subject or the plurality of ultrasound transducers;
- and
- acquiring image data with the determined at least one ultrasound transducer.

A system to image a subject, comprising:
- a plurality of ultrasound transducers configured to be positioned relative to a subject;
- a device configured to be positioned relative to at least one of the subject or the plurality of ultrasound transducers;
- a multiplexer configured to operate at least one ultrasound transducer of the plurality of ultrasound transducers for acquiring image data of the subject based at least on a pose of the device relative to at least one of the subject or the plurality of ultrasound transducers;
- and
- acquiring image data with the determined at least one ultrasound transducer.
2 more elements
A system to image a subject, comprising:
- an imaging system comprising:
- a placement member;
- a plurality of ultrasound transducers configured to be positioned relative to a subject;
- and
- a multiplexer configured to selectively operate one ultrasound transducer of the plurality of ultrasound transducers for acquiring image data of the subject based at least on a pose of the device relative to at least one of the subject or the plurality of ultrasound transducers;
- wherein the operated one ultrasound transducer is configured to acquire image data.
