Abstract

Systems and methods for performing registration between a patient space and an image space are disclosed herein. Systems using such methods may identify a pose of a registration frame having one or more apertures within the patient space using a tracking system. Image data corresponding to the image space having an image of the registration frame is taken. A plurality of aperture locations within the image data (corresponding to the apertures of the registration frame) are identified in the image data. Aperture representations from a model of the registration frame are matched to these aperture locations to determine a pose of the registration frame within the image space. A transform between the patient space and the image space is generated based on the pose of the registration frame within the patient space and the pose of the registration frame within the image space. Optimization methods for this transform are discussed.
