Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods used to register medical image data with anatomical positions are disclosed. The image data is captured by an imaging system over a period of time. The positions are determined by a tracking system over the period of time. The positions are averaged to determine an average position of the anatomy, which is then used for registration of the image data with the anatomy. Registration based on the average position can then be used to enhance the quality of 3D images of the anatomy, as well as to improve navigation for a surgical procedure.
