Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for medical imaging are described. Examples may include an augmented reality (AR) server receiving a set of medical imaging data acquired by at least a first imaging modality. The set of medical imaging data may include a visual representation of a biological structure of a body. Next, the medical imaging data can be used to render an isolated anatomical model of a least a portion of the biological structure. The isolated anatomical model can be received by an AR viewing device such as AR glasses. The AR viewing device may display on a display of the AR viewing device, a first view perspective of the isolated anatomical model in a first orientation. The first orientation may be based on a position of the first AR viewing device relative to the body. Examples include displaying a virtual position of the medical instrument in the AR viewing device.
