Abstract
A system for displaying a holographic image of an object behind a real object surface, including a computing unit for computing data for displaying a three-dimensional image of an object, a location measurement unit for measuring a location of a surface of a real object, a display for displaying the three dimensional image of the object, wherein the computing unit is adapted to compute data to display the three-dimensional image of the object at least partly behind the surface of the real object. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
Claims1
A method for producing an image of an internal organ and a medical tool both in correct locations in space relative to a body of a patient, comprising:
- (a) obtaining data comprising a three-dimensional (3D) location and orientation in space of an imaging device relative to a display;
- (b) obtaining, from the imaging device, a second 3D dataset for producing an image which includes a portion of an internal organ of a patient and a portion of a medical tool;
- (c) producing an image which displays the portion of the internal organ and the portion of the medical tool in a same location in space as the real-world location of the portion of the internal organ and the portion of the medical tool,
- wherein:
- the producing the image comprises:
- calculating a location and orientation in space, relative to the display, for the imaging device;
- and
- calculating a location in space, relative to the display, for the image of the portion of the internal organ and the portion of the medical tool, based on the location in space of the imaging device relative to the display, thereby producing the image which displays the portion of the internal organ and the portion of the medical tool.
