Abstract
Disclosed embodiments determine, at an early stage, suitability of an intraoperative image for further intraoperative surgical analysis. The determination of suitability may be made using a first angle (such as a first obturator angle) based on at least three pelvic feature points in a preoperative image, a corresponding second angle (such as a corresponding second obturator angle) based on at least three corresponding pelvic feature points in an intraoperative image, and by comparing the first angle and the corresponding second angle to determine intraoperative image suitability. The first intra-operative image is indicated as suitable for further intraoperative analysis when an absolute value of a difference between the first angle and the corresponding second angle does not exceed a threshold. When the intraoperative image is determined as unsuitable for further intraoperative analysis, an indication of a movement direction for a fluoroscopy camera used to capture the intraoperative image is provided.
