Title: Methods and systems for providing visuospatial information
Inventor: KAMYAR ABHARI
IPC: A61B34/20
Filed: 2018-07-12
Abstract: A methods and a system for providing feedback during a medical procedure. The 3D position and orientation of a tracked tool are determined 602, relative to a site of the medical procedure, based on tracking information received from a tracking system. The 3D position and orientation are mapped to a common coordinate space, to determine the 3D position and orientation relative to a field-of-view (FOV) of an optical camera that is capturing an optical image of the site 604. Navigational information associated with the 3D position and orientation is determined 608. A virtual representation of the navigational information is overlaid on the FOV and displayed 610. The displayed virtual representation is updated 612 when: the 3D position and orientation of the tracked tool changes 614; or when the FOV changes 616. Preferably determining the navigational information comprises determining a measurement of the distance between the 3D position and orientation with respect to another reference point in the site, with the navigational information displayed as the distance measurement overlaid on the FOV. The system may receive a 3D point selected by the tracked tool, the navigational information being further determined for the selected 3D point.
