US Patent 11490986 System and method for improved electronic assisted medical procedures

Methods and systems for displaying an image of a medical procedure (e.g., an intraoperative image) with additional information (e.g., data) that can augment the image of the medical procedure are provided. Augmenting the image can include overlaying data from a first image to a second image. Overlaying the data can involve determining, for a point or multiple points in the first image, a matching location or multiple matching locations in a second image. The first image and the second image can be of a patient. Determining the matching location can involve using a rotation and scale invariant geometrical relationship. The matching locations can be used as the basis for the overlay.
