Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a hypersurface image from a tomographic image data set describing a tomographic image of an anatomical body part. The method encompasses a locally depth-of-view-corrected reconstruction of a volumetric data set (pre-operative image data, like CT or MRI image data), in order to e.g. augment volumetric image data onto e.g. a microscope view, or in the head-up display of the microscope. For the depth correction, a surface model of the actual anatomical surface of the anatomical body part is used which encompasses a hypersurface reconstruction pf the volumetric data set. Thus, the correct information related to the tissue at the current visible surface is overlaid.
