Method and system for surgical planning in a mixed reality environment

This invention describes a system that helps surgeons by overlaying a virtual 3D model of a patient's organ directly onto their body. It works by first creating a virtual model of the organ from a scan, complete with virtual markers. These virtual markers are then aligned with physical markers placed on the patient, allowing the system to precisely position the virtual organ model in the real world. The claims specifically focus on using a "holographic" model, suggesting an augmented or mixed reality display for this overlay.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in mixed reality hardware and spatial computing software. The improved fidelity and stability of AR/MR displays and real-time tracking systems make precise surgical overlays more practical now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMedical imaging, 3D reconstruction, real-time tracking, MR display.
