Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 18:
19. A method for visualizing image data of a subject, comprising:
(i) accessing, with a computer system, anatomical imaging data acquired from a subject using a first imaging modality;
(ii) accessing, with the computer system, physiological imaging data acquired from a subject using a second imaging modality;
(iii) generating image fusion data by combining, with the computer system, the first imaging data and the second imaging data to generate an integrated model of the subject;
(iv) generating, using one of a virtual reality and augmented reality system, a visual representation of the subject using the integrated model of the subject for a medical professional to experience using the one of virtual reality and augmented reality system;
(v) registering, using the one of virtual reality and augmented reality system, with the visual representation of the subject, a model of a medical tool corresponding to a medical tool used by the medical professional using the one of virtual reality and augmented reality system;
(vi) updating in real-time, using the one of virtual reality and augmented reality system, the visual representation of the subject based on a virtual training interaction of the medical tool used by the medical professional with the visual representation of the subject using the model of the subject and the model of the medical tool;
(vii) generating in real-time, using the one of virtual reality and augmented reality system, an updated visual representation of the subject after the virtual interaction of the medical tool used by the medical professional with the visual representation of the subject using the model of the subject and the model of the medical tool to illustrate the medical procedure; and
(viii) detecting facial points of the subject and registering the visual representation of the subject with the subject by co-registering the facial points of the subject and the anatomical imaging data.
