Abstract

A guided frame matching technique may be employed in which a graphical projection of a fixator is used to guide and assist a user in identifying fixator elements within an image. Upon being overlaid on an image, the graphical projection of fixator may be manipulated to align with, and overlay, fixator elements displayed within the image. Additionally, a three-dimensional overview of an imaging scene of the fixator may be generated. The three-dimensional overview may include a three-dimensional graphical model that displays representations of images of the fixator attached to anatomical structure segments as well as representations of imaging sources, reference locations, fixator elements, and anatomical structure segments. When the images are not truly orthogonal, a modified second image representation may be displayed to represent a second image that is truly orthogonal to a first image.
