Ultrasound-based mixed reality assistance for orthopedic surgeries

A computing system comprising:

• a storage system configured to store ultrasound imaging data representing a non-viewable portion of a bone of a patient;
• and
• a processing system comprising one or more processors implemented in processing circuitry, the processing system configured to:
• identify, based on the ultrasound imaging data, a soft tissue attachment point, wherein the soft tissue attachment point is a point on the non-viewable portion of the bone at which a soft tissue structure is attached to the bone;
• and
• cause, a Mixed Reality (MR) visualization device to display a virtual indicator superimposed on a viewable portion of the bone at a location corresponding to the soft tissue attachment point.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a processing system to:

• obtain ultrasound imaging data representing a non-viewable portion of a bone of a patient;
• identify, based on the ultrasound imaging data, a soft tissue attachment point, wherein the soft tissue attachment point is a point on the non-viewable portion of the bone at which a soft tissue structure is attached to the bone;
• and
• cause a Mixed Reality (MR) visualization device to display a virtual indicator superimposed on a viewable portion of the bone at a location corresponding to the soft tissue attachment point.
