Claims14
A method for providing a medical tracking interface for communication between at least one interventional tracking tool and an image guided intervention (IGI) application, characterized in the medical tracking interface:
- Receiving tracking data from at least one tracking tool in any one of a plurality of data formats;
- converting the tracking data to a uniform data format;
- and
- outputting the tracking data in the uniform data format to the IGI application.
A medical tracking interface, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory operably connected to the processor;
- and
- a program of instruction stored on the memory and executed by the processor to convert tracking data from an interventional tool in any of a plurality of data formats to a uniform data format and output the tracking data to an image guided intervention application in the uniform data format.
A computer program product comprising a non-transient computer readable storage device having encoded thereon a computer executable program of instruction, comprising:
- program instructions for receiving data from at least one tracking tool in any one of a plurality of data formats;
- program instructions for converting the data to a uniform data format;
- and
- program instructions for outputting the data in the uniform data format to an image guided intervention application.
