System and method of providing real-time dynamic imagery of a medical procedure site using multiple modalities
First Claim
1. A method of medical procedure image guidance, comprising the steps of:
- determining, at a computer system, first real-time, dynamic medical imaging data based on a first spatial state of a first medical device;
determining, at the computer system, second real-time, dynamic medical imaging data based on a second spatial state of a second medical device, wherein the second medical device is separate from and distinct from the first medical device;
spatially registering the first real-time, dynamic medical imaging data and the second real-time, dynamic medical imaging data; and
producing at the computer system, combined dynamic, real-time image guidance data based on the first real-time, dynamic medical imaging data and the second real-time, dynamic medical imaging data; and
relative spatial states of the first real-time, dynamic medical imaging data and the second real-time, dynamic medical imaging data.

Abstract
A system and method of providing composite real-time dynamic imagery of a medical procedure site from multiple modalities which continuously and immediately depicts the current state and condition of the medical procedure site synchronously with respect to each modality and without undue latency is disclosed. The composite real-time dynamic imagery may be provided by spatially registering multiple real-time dynamic video streams from the multiple modalities to each other. Spatially registering the multiple real-time dynamic video streams to each other may provide a continuous and immediate depiction of the medical procedure site with an unobstructed and detailed view of a region of interest at the medical procedure site at multiple depths. As such, a surgeon, or other medical practitioner, may view a single, accurate, and current composite real-time dynamic imagery of a region of interest at the medical procedure site as he/she performs a medical procedure, and thereby, may properly and effectively implement the medical procedure.
