Orientating an oblique plane in a 3D representation
First Claim
1. A medical imaging system, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and
a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions, further comprising;
a three-dimensional (3D) representation; and
a plane generation component configured to;
receive, from a planar orientation device communicatively coupled to the plane generation component, a first positioning signal indicating a first orientation of the planar orientation device;
establish a first orientation of a plane within the 3D representation, wherein the first plane of orientation is based at least in part on the first orientation of the planar orientation device;
receive, from the planar orientation device, a second positioning signal indicating a second orientation of the planar orientation device; and
establish a second orientation of the plane within the 3D representation, wherein the second plane of orientation is based at least in part on the second positioning signal received from the planar orientation device relative to a degree of motion of the planar orientation device from the first orientation of the planar orientation device, and during motion of the planar orientation device from receipt of the first positioning signal to receipt of the second positioning signal, temporarily disabling transmission of position signals from the planar orientation device to enable positioning of the planar orientation device without affecting the establishment of the second orientation of the plane relative to the first orientation of the plane.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate orientation of a plane with respect to a three-dimensional representation. A device is presented utilizing at least one of an accelerometer, gyroscope, or combination thereof, enabling determination of a current position and/or orientation of the device. Outputs from the accelerometer, gyroscope, etc., are captured and orientation of a plane displayed with regard to the three-dimensional representation is accordingly adjusted to correspond with the position of the device. Imaging information relating to the three-dimensional representation and the plane can be captured facilitating analysis of the respective slice of the three-dimensional representation associated with the plane.
