Abstract
A mixed reality (MR) visualization system includes an MR device comprising a holographic display configured to display a holographic image to an operator, a hand-held ultrasound imaging device configured to obtain a real-time ultrasound image of a subject's anatomy, and a computing device communicatively coupled to the MR device and the hand-held ultrasound imaging device. The computing device includes a non-volatile memory and a processor. The computing device is configured to receive the real-time ultrasound image, determine a real-time 3D position and orientation of the hand-held ultrasound imaging device, generate a modified real-time ultrasound image by modifying the real-time ultrasound image to correspond to the real-time 3D position and orientation of the hand-held ultrasound imaging device, and transmit the modified real-time ultrasound image to the MR device for display as the holographic image positioned at a predetermined location relative to the hand-held ultrasound imaging device.
