Title: Nicole Kerstein and Augmented-Reality Spine-Level Determination.
Introduction
Nicole Kerstein is an inventor associated with Munich, Germany, and Brainlab SE. Her patent work concerns the use of augmented reality to help determine spinal levels.
Latest Patents
Kerstein is associated with 1 patent: “Spine Level Determination Using Augmented Reality.” The patent describes a computer-implemented method for registering a digital model of an anatomical body part to the corresponding part of a patient’s body. The model includes at least one vertex corresponding to a specific anatomical landmark, such as a vertebra that can be identified by palpation. Using the known orientation of an augmented-reality viewing device relative to the patient, the system displays the vertex as an overlay aligned with the landmark in the device’s field of view.
Career Highlights
Kerstein’s disclosed invention applies augmented-reality visualization to anatomical registration and spinal-level identification. The approach is designed to connect a digital anatomical model with a corresponding physical landmark.
Collaborations
Kerstein is associated with Brainlab SE. Her listed coworkers include Oliver Fleig and Martin Koestler.
Conclusion
Nicole Kerstein’s patent work combines digital anatomical models and augmented-reality overlays to support the identification of spinal landmarks.
