Abstract

The disclosed method encompasses using an augmented reality device to blend in augmentation information including for example atlas information. The atlas information may be display separately from or in addition to a patient image (planning image). In order to display the atlas information in a proper position relative to the patient image, the two data sets are registered to one another. This registration can serve for generating a diversity of atlas-based image supplements, for example alternatively or additionally to the foregoing for displaying a segmentation of the patient image in the augmented reality image. The disclosed method is usable in a medical environment such as for surgery or radiotherapy.
