Patent ID: 10667864

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a computer-implemented medical data processing method for determining a 2D-view within an acquired 3D-image-dataset of a patient, wherein the method comprises executing, on a processor of a computer, the following steps: a) a representation of at least one anatomical structure (2) of interest is identified in the 3D-image-dataset and registered with the at least one anatomical structure (2); b) the spatial position of the at least one anatomical structure (2) and the spatial position of a predetermined section of a medical instrument (1) are determined in real space; c) the 2D-view is determined within the 3D-image-dataset, wherein the view-plane of the 2D-view is defined on the basis of the spatial position of the medical instrument (1), and wherein the view-center (B) of the 2D-view is defined on the basis of the relative spatial position of a predetermined section of the medical instrument (1) and the at least one anatomical structure (2); d) the relative position of the defined view-center with respect to a predetermined section of the medical instrument (1) is maintained in the 2D-view. The present invention further relates to a corresponding computer program, a corresponding program storage medium and a corresponding system for performing such method.
