ABSTRACT:
Imaging, object tracking, integration apparatus100has tracking system1,imaging system3,communication system5and integration system7.Tracking system1locates objects in 3-dimensions and determines respective poses. Imaging system3acquires object images. Integration system7correlates 3-dimensional poses. User communication system5provides information, such as images, sounds, or control signals to the user or other automated systems. Image acquisition techniques include X-ray imaging and ultrasound imaging. Images can be acquired from digital files. Imaging system3creates a calibrated, geometrically corrected two-dimensional image110, 210. Correlation system7can receive instructions from a practitioner to create, destroy, and edit the properties of a guard. Communications system5displays images and calculations to a practitioner, such as a surgeon. Methods can determine geometrical relations between guards and/or present to a practitioner projections of forms of guards.
