System and method for image registration
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for providing image alignment data, the system comprising:
- a computer processor configured to;
display a first image, a first position of the image relative to an object being recorded;
display an image positioning control including;
a first edge positioned at a first location of the image, a second edge, and a shaft extending between the first and second edges, the second edge being user-shiftable; and
responsive to user input to shift the second edge from a second location to a third location;
display the image in a second position relative to the object, the second position being offset from the first position; and
update the recorded position of the image to reflect the second relative position in a memory where the recorded position is accessible for generating, based on the recorded position, a model of an anatomical region.

Abstract
A system and method for providing processable data associated with anatomical images may provide a user interface including a pivot and stem tool via which to align multiple images, a flashlight bar for viewing portions of an overlaid image, and/or user-movable markers for establishing a location of one or more anatomical landmarks with regions of one or more images.

11. A computer-implemented method for providing a user interface for at least one of showing and setting relative positions of objects, the method comprising:
-
displaying, by a computer processor, a flashlight object in a display area; displaying, by the processor, a first portion of a first object in a first region of the display area that extends in a predefined manner from the flashlight object; and displaying, by the processor, a first portion of a second object in one or more second regions of the display area that do not extend in the predefined manner from the flashlight object; wherein the flashlight object is user-shiftable to shift the first region, thereby responsively; bringing into view a second portion of the first object; removing from view at least a part of the first portion of the first object; bringing into view a second portion of the second object; and removing from view at least a part of the first portion of the second object. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor, the instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for associating a region with a predefined landmark, the method comprising:
-
displaying a first two-dimensional plane of a three-dimensional object; displaying a second two-dimensional plane of the three-dimensional object; displaying a first user-selectable and shiftable marker associated by the processor with a landmark; and responsive to a user-shift of the first marker to a region of the first two-dimensional plane; displaying a second marker associated with the landmark in a region of the second two-dimensional plane that corresponds to the region of the first two-dimensional plane; and recording an association of the landmark with each of the regions. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
