Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a see-through visualization of a patient, the method comprising: receiving an image dataset representative of anatomical features of the patient acquired using a medical image scanner; acquiring a body surface model of the patient using an RGB-D sensor; aligning the body surface model with the image dataset in a canonical/common coordinate system to yield an aligned body surface model by determining a plurality of first landmarks in the image dataset; determining a plurality of second landmarks in the body surface model, each of the plurality of second landmarks corresponding to a distinct one of the plurality of first landmarks; and using correspondences between the plurality of first landmarks and a plurality of second landmarks to align the body surface model with the image dataset; determining a relative pose of a mobile device with respect to the RGB-D sensor; creating a pose dependent visualization of the patient by rendering the image dataset at a viewpoint corresponding to the relative pose of the mobile device; and presenting the see-through pose dependent visualization of the patient on the mobile device.
