A method for determining a translation of a three-dimensional pre-operative image data set to obtain a registration of the three-dimensional image data with a patient positioned in a projection imaging system. In one embodiment the user identifies an initial three-dimensional organ center from projections and extreme contour landmark points of the object on a set of projections. A set of contour points for the image object in each of a plurality of three-dimensional cross-section planes; is obtained and the points projecting nearest to the user-identified landmark points are selected. A three-dimensional grid having a predetermined number of intervals at a predetermined interval spacing centered at the user-identified organ center is defined. The three-dimensional image data contour points as centered onto each grid point are projected for evaluation and selection of the grid point leading to contour points projecting nearest to the user-identified landmark points. This selection leads to the iterative definition of a series of improved estimated three-dimensional organ centers, and associated translation vectors. Registration of a three dimensional image data to the patient positioned in a projection imaging system will allow, among other things, overlay of a visual representation of a pre-operative image object onto a projection image plane that can serve as a visual tool and a surgical navigation aid. In particular, the position and orientation of a medical device can be shown with respect to the three-dimensional image data and thus enable quicker, safer, and less invasive navigation of the medical device to and within an organ of interest.

A computer simulation method is provided for modeling the behavioral expression of one or more agents in an environment to be simulated, then running a simulation of the modeled agent(s) against real-world information as input data reflecting changing conditions of the environment being simulated, and obtaining an output based on the modeled agent(s) response(s). The simulation method models the underlying cultural, social, and behavioral characteristics on which agent behaviors and actions are based, rather than modeling fixed rules for the agent's actions. The input data driving the simulation are constituted by real-world information reflecting the changing conditions of the environment being simulated, rather than an artificial set of predefined initial conditions which do not change over time. As a result, the simulation output of the modeled agent's responses to the input information can indicate more accurately how that type of participant in the simulated environment might respond under real-world conditions. Simulations can be run on global networks for agent types of different cultures, societies, and behaviors, with global sources of information. Simulation environments can include problems and situations in a wide range of human activity. Robust new visual tools are provided for discerning patterns and trends in the simulation data, including waveform charts, star charts, grid charts, and pole chart series.
