SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATION-MERGING OF IMAGE WITH HUMAN VISION USING TRANSPARENT DISPLAY

摘要

We provide a device for combining tomographic images with human vision using a partially transparent display to merge the visual outer surface of an object with a simultaneous tomographic image from the interior of the object. The device may be used with various types of image modalities including ultrasound, CT, and MRI. The image captured device and the display may or may not be fixed to each other. If not fixed, the imaging device may provide a compensation device that adjusts the image on the partially transparent display to account for any change in the image capture device orientation or location. Methods for using such a device are also provided.
