Abstract
Methods and systems for forming one or more projected two-dimensional images based on Computed Tomography (CT) data of a subject, a planned pose of a flexible elongated device, and one or more parameters of an external imaging device are disclosed. In some examples, the one or more projected two-dimensional images may be used to determine appropriate imaging orientations of an external imaging device for use during a medical procedure.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- obtaining computed tomography (CT) data for a subject, wherein the CT data includes a target tissue of the subject;
- obtaining a planned pose of a flexible elongated device within an anatomical structure of the subject;
- and
- based on the CT data, the planned pose of the flexible elongated device, and one or more parameters of an external imaging device, forming one or more projected two dimensional images.
A non-transitory computer readable memory including instructions that when executed by one or more processors performs a method comprising:
- obtaining computed tomography (CT) data for a subject, wherein the CT data includes a target tissue of the subject;
- obtaining a planned pose of a flexible elongated device within an anatomical structure of the subject;
- and
- based on the CT data, the planned pose of the flexible elongated device, and one or more parameters of an external imaging device, forming one or more projected two dimensional images.
