Systems and methods for displaying guidance data based on updated deformable imaging data
First Claim
1. A method of presenting imaging data related to an anatomical site, comprising:
- obtaining, at a first time, a first set of imaging data related to the anatomical site and tracking units at the anatomical site;
obtaining information about the tracking units at a second time after the first time;
determining a deformed version of the first set of imaging data based on a difference between relative arrangements of one or more of the tracking units at the first time and at the second time; and
determining image guidance data for display based on, the deformed version of the first set of imaging data.

Abstract
Presented herein are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium for presenting imaging data related to an anatomical site. These include obtaining a first set of imaging data related to the anatomical site and tracking units at the anatomical site and, thereafter, optionally, obtaining a second set of imaging data related to the anatomical site. A deformed version of the first set of imaging data is then determined based on the relative arrangements of one or more of the tracking units at the time when the first set of imaging data is obtained and when the second set of imaging data is obtained. Then the relative emplacements of the second set of imaging data set and of the deformed version of the first set of imaging data set are determined and used, along with the second set of imaging data set and the deformed version of the first set of imaging data, as a basis for displaying image guidance data.

14. A system comprising:
-
one or more computing devices in communication with tracking units at an anatomical site, wherein the one or more computing devices are configured to; obtain a first set of imaging data related to the anatomical site and the tracking units at a first time; obtain information about the tracking units at a second time after the first time; determine a deformed version of the first set of imaging data based on a difference between relative arrangements of one or more of the tracking units at the first time and at the second time; determine image guidance data for display based on the deformed version of the first set of imaging data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having one or more computer-executable modules, the one or more computer-executable modules comprising:
-
a first module in communication with tracking units at an anatomical site, wherein the first module is configured to; obtain, at a first time, a first set of imaging data related to the anatomical site and the tracking units; obtain information about the tracking units at a second time after the first time; determine a deformed version of the first set of imaging data based on a difference between relative arrangements of one or more of the tracking units at the first time and at the second time; and determine image guidance data for display based on the deformed version of the first set of imaging data.
