Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing a see-through visualization of a patient includes receiving an image dataset representative of anatomical features of the patient acquired using a medical image scanner and acquiring a body surface model of the patient using an RGB-D sensor. The body surface model is aligned with the image dataset in a canonical/common coordinate system to yield an aligned body surface model. A relative pose of a mobile device is determined with respect to the RGB-D sensor and a pose dependent visualization of the patient is created by rendering the image dataset at a viewpoint corresponding to the relative pose of the mobile device. Then, the pose dependent visualization of the patient may be presented on the mobile device.
