Abstract
A system for registering operating images includes an X-ray imaging machine, a visible-light camera, a rectifier and a computer system. The X-ray imaging machine captures a first X-ray image of the rectifier, and the visible-light camera captures a first visible-light image of the rectifier at the same time. The computer system recognizes the rectifier in the first X-ray image and in the first visible-light image to compute a conversion model between a coordinate system of the X-ray imager and a coordinate system of the visible-light camera. The X-ray imaging machine also captures a second X-ray image of a patient on which a positioning marker is set, and the visible-light camera captures a second visible-light image of the positioning marker. The computer system provides a navigation interface by combining the second X-ray image and the second visible-light image based on the conversion model.
