A medical data processing method of determining anatomical structure subset data describing a subset of a graphical representationof an anatomical structure of a patient's body to be displayed simultaneously with a medical image of an anatomical body part, the method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring predetermined anatomical structure representation data describing a graphical representation of the anatomical structure and its position in the patient's body; b) acquiring anatomical body part image data describing an image of an anatomical body partof the patient imaged by an optical imaging apparatusfor display by a display apparatus; c) acquiring optical parameter data describing an optical parameter WD serving as a basis for displaying the anatomical body part image data; d) determining, based on the anatomical structure representation data and the anatomical body part image data and the optical parameter data, anatomical structure subset data describing a subsetof the anatomical structure representation data, which subset describes graphical representation of a structure subset of the anatomical structure to be displayed simultaneously with the image of the anatomical body part

Overlay of anatomical information in a microscope image

The invention relates to a data processing method of determining a transformation for transforming medical image data into a positional reference system, the method being executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring, from a medical imaging apparatus (), medical image data comprising medical image information describing a two-dimensional image of an anatomical body part (); b) acquiring medical image selection data comprising medical image selection information describing a selection () from the medical image information; c) acquiring imaging apparatus characteristic data comprising imaging apparatus characteristic information describing an imaging characteristic of the medical imaging apparatus (); d) determining, based on the medical image data, medical image selection data and imaging apparatus characteristic data, selection position data comprising selection position information describing a three-dimensional position of an anatomical structure () in the anatomical body part () corresponding to the selection from the medical image information.

Three-dimensional image segmentation based on a two-dimensional image information

The invention relates to a data processing method of determining a positional transformation (T, M) for correcting the registration of an anatomical body part with a medical imaging apparatus, the method being executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring initial body part position data comprising initial body part position information describing an initial relative position () between the medical imaging apparatus and the anatomical body part; b) acquiring, from the medical imaging apparatus, body part medical image data comprising body part medical image information describing an image of the anatomical body part; c) acquiring, based on the body part medical imaging data, actual body part position data comprising actual body part position information describing an actual relative position () between the anatomical body part and the medical imaging apparatus; d) determining, based on the actual body part position data and the initial body part position data, body part position transformation data comprising body part position transformation information describing a transformation (T, M) between the initial relative position () between the anatomical body part and the medical imaging apparatus, and the actual relative position () between the anatomical body part and the medical imaging apparatus.

Registration correction based on shift detection in image data

The invention relates to a method for controlling a surgical microscope (), wherein the position of the optical system () of the microscope () is tracked within an operating space by a position tracking system (), wherein the optical system carrier () can be moved by means of a motorized carrier moving system (). The line of sight of the optical system () is automatically set by moving the optical system carrier () and is aligned with a predefined direction in said operating space.

Controlling a surgical microscope

The present invention relates to a method of determining an analyzing level for analyzing a system test procedure for testing a modular system having functional modules, comprising acquiring dependency data comprising dependency information describing at least one functional dependency of at least one functional module, acquiring change data comprising change information describing a change in a module test procedure for testing at least part of the at least one functional module located at a first system test level, acquiring impact data comprising impact information describing an impact of the change in the module test procedure on testing a functionality of the at least one functional module based on the dependency information and the change information, determining, based on the impact information, analyzing level data comprising analyzing level information describing an analyzing level being the system test level at which the system test procedure is analyzed.
