OPTIMAL IMAGING POINT OF VIEW BASED ON INTERVENTION INSTRUMENT LOADING
20210251712 · 2021-08-19 ·

An optimal imaging POV intervention system employs an intervention instrument (30), an instrument guide (40), one or more force/torque sensors and an optimal imaging POV controller (20). In operation, the instrument guide (40) establishes a planned trajectory of the intervention instrument (30), and the force/torque sensor(s) sense a force and/or a torque exerted against the intervention instrument (30) and/or the instrument guide (40) when the intervention instrument (30) is positioned within the instrument guide (40). The optimal imaging POV controller (20) controls a determination of an optimal imaging POV of the intervention instrument (30) by deriving an imaging axis of the intervention instrument (30) from a measurement of the force and/or the torque exerted against the intervention instrument (30) and/or the instrument guide (40) as sensed by the force/torque sensor(s).

Systems and methods are provided for processing X-ray images, wherein the methods are implemented as a software program product executable on a processing unit of the systems. Generally, an X-ray image is received by the system, the X-ray image being a projection image of a first object and a second object. The first and second objects are classified, and a respective 3D model of the objects is received. At the first object, a geometrical aspect like an axis or a line is determined, and at the second object, another geometrical aspect like a point is determined. Finally, a spatial relation between the first object and the second object is determined based on a 3D model of the first object, a 3D model of the second object, and the information that the point of the second object is located on the geometrical aspect of the first object.
