Abstract
A medical data processing method of determining a spatial relationship between a marker device () and a resection plane () associated with an anatomical structure () of a patient's body, the marker device () being video-detectable by an imaging unit (), the method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: a) acquiring imaging unit position data describing a predetermined spatial relationship between the imaging unit () and the resection plane; b) acquiring marker device position data describing a spatial relationship between the marker device () and the imaging unit () based on imaging the marker device () with the imaging unit () in order to generate an orientation-dependent image appearance of the marker device (); c) determining, based on the imaging unit position data acquired in step a) and the marker device position data acquired in step b) and based on the orientation-dependent image appearance of the marker device (), resection plane () data describing the spatial relationship between the resection plane () and the marker device ().
