A sensor means is employed to sense a distance to the surface of a subject to be examined, so that a range image may be acquired. Intensity information may be acquired alongside the distance information. The distance information and intensity information may be evaluated to track the pose of the sensor means relative to the surface of the subject to be examined, so that anatomical data related to said subject may be displayed as seen from the position and/or orientation of the sensor means or display means. By moving the sensor means or display means along the surface of the subject to be examined, such as a patient in a hospital environment, the user hence gets the impression of being able to look directly into the human body.
A system for visualizing anatomical data, comprising:
The system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said sensor means is adapted to sense an object to be placed at a predetermined pose relative to said subject and/or to be moved along a predetermined trajectory relative to said subject, wherein said visualization means comprise guiding means for generating and displaying on said display means an image allowing a user to assess to which extent a pose and/or movement of said object coincides with said predetermined pose or trajectory, respectively.
A method for visualizing anatomical data, comprising the steps of:
