Systems and methods for touchless registration using a reference frame adapter is provided. A first image of a region of a patient and a second image of the region of the patient and a reference frame adapter may be received. The reference frame adapter may be configured to selectively attach to a patient reference frame positioned near the region of the patient. The second image may be registered to the first image based on the reference frame adapter.

Touchless registration using a reference frame adapter

Systems and methods used to perform non-contact patient registration of images for surgical navigation are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems include a 3-D scanning device to capture spatial data of a region of interest of a patient and a reference frame. A digital mesh model is generated from the spatial data. A reference frame model is registered with the digital mesh model. Anatomical features of the digital mesh model and a patient registration model are utilized to register the digital mesh model with the patient registration model. A position of a surgical instrument is tracked relative to the reference frame and the patient registration model.
