/Systems And Methods For Integrating Intraoperative Image Data With Minimally Invasive Medical Techniques
Abstract

A system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to record shape data for an instrument during an image capture period of an imaging system and receive image data from the imaging system corresponding to the image capture period. A portion of the image data corresponds to the instrument. The computer readable instructions further cause the system to identify a target in the image data, segment the portion of the image data, register the image data to the shape data by comparing the shape data to the portion of the image data corresponding to the instrument, and update a location of the target from a pre-operative location to an intra-operative location based upon the image data.
