A medical system comprises an instrument, a position acquisition apparatus, a data processing and image generating apparatus and an image display and control unit. The position acquisition apparatus is configured to acquire a position and orientation of the instrument in relation to a reference coordinate system. The data processing and image generating apparatus is configured to generate an image of a body part from currently recorded or stored data representing a body part, which image reproduces a view of the body part together with a representation of the position, and preferably also the orientation of the instrument so that an observer can gather the position and orientation of the instrument in the body part from the image of the body part.

Medical navigation system with wirelessly connected, touch-sensitive screen

A method for presenting image data, in which an optical implement captures the position and positional information is obtained thus and, with the aid of the positional information, image data are determined and displayed or processed further. The image data to be displayed are at least in part based on virtual image data, not real image data captured directly by the optical implement. These virtual image data represent an object or body part situated in the field of view of the optical implement. Within the scope of the method, real image data are recorded by means of the optical implement, the position and/or alignment of the optical implement is captured simultaneously and positional information is derived therefrom.

Navigating attachment for optical devices in medicine, and method

A registration method and device for detecting the position and alignment of an object or body part in relation to a position detection system, the method arranging a reference sensor on the object or body part and/or on an image sensor unit, detecting the position of the reference sensor by means of the position detection system, photogrammetrically detecting a surface of the object or body part by means of the image sensor unit, producing a surface model of the object or body part on the basis of the photogrammetrically detected information, determining the position of the reference sensor in the surface model, and correlating the surface model with a coordinate system of the position detection system on the basis of the determined position of the reference sensor in the surface model and on the basis of the position of the reference sensor detected by means of the position detection system.
