Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to a Registration Engine that identifies a region of interest from an infrared image portraying a target portion of a physical anatomy in a current physical pose. The Registration Engine generates a 3D point cloud of the region of interest. The Registration Engine identifies region of interest isosurface data by detecting matches between isosurface data and the 3D point cloud. The Registration Engine determines display location, at the target portion of the physical anatomy, for the region of interest isosurface data. The Registration Engine renders an Augmented Reality (AR) display of medical data with respect to the display location.

Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining an entry region for inserting elongated medical instruments such as trocars or laparoscopes into an anatomical body part such as the abdomen. The determination is made on the basis of a patient image and a known or assumed geometry of the medical instruments and a known position of the target region, and risk structures which shall be avoided by the medical instrument are determined either by user interaction from the patient image or automatically by matching the patient image with an atlas defining the position of such risk structures in an image-based model of the anatomical body part. On the basis of the position of the determined entry region, a robotic device may be controlled to attain a position which is suitable for automatic insertion of the medical instruments into the anatomical body part.

The present application proposes a chest and abdominal respiration signal decoupling and reconstruction method based on millimeter wave radar. Using a millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output radar device, the radar echo is first mapped to a three-dimensional space using 3D beamforming technology, mapping the one-dimensional time domain signal to a spatial energy heat map containing distance, azimuth, and elevation three-dimensional information. Then, through spatial filtering strategy, the physiological vibration source signal clusters of the subjects with coupling relationship are separated. When the physiological vibration source includes the chest reflection area of the first anatomical site and the abdominal reflection area of the second anatomical site, combined with the adaptive best point selection algorithm, according to the anatomical features of the human body, the chest reflection area and the abdominal reflection area are physically located and distinguished in the three-dimensional space, and the independent breathing waveform is extracted from the body surface reflection to perform high-precision spatial separation and anti-interference waveform extraction operation of chest and abdominal respiration movement. The present application can realize high-precision spatial separation and anti-interference waveform extraction of chest and abdominal respiration movement.

The present invention includes a method for targeted isolation, segmentation, and coloring of anatomic images, anatomic maps, points of interest, and regions of interest for dynamic, translated form generation. For example, this invention includes a method whereby a description of anatomy that includes an anatomic site, and optionally laterality and other descriptors, targets and isolates diagrams from an anatomic map library that fits the anatomy description. A point of interest on a layered, hierarchical map is visualized in relation to the borders of each isolated anatomic site above, below, on the same level along with translated human readable descriptions of the pin position relative to each layer. An anatomic region of interest is also visualized in relation to sites above, below, and on the same hierarchical or layer level. Targeted isolation of each layer provides visualization, translation, descriptions, and visual selection points for a visual, translated hierarchical travel method included in this invention. A dynamic anatomy library combines with other data to generate dynamically filled in and fillable forms with relevant visualizations, codes, translations, and data. Dynamic forms that contain anatomy data are processed through a form processing engine for detection, categorization, encoding, translation, and labeling of the anatomy and non-anatomy data, and those outputs then process through a billing code engine, record generation engine, and image and visualization labeling engine. A record retrieval engine applies neural networks, computer vision, and artificial intelligence to re-create, analyze, categorize, and serve back record defined data to complete the loop.
