ULTRASOUND-BASED MIXED REALITY ASSISTANCE FOR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES

Abstract

An example method includes obtaining, by a processing system comprising one or more processors implemented in circuitry, ultrasound imaging data representing a non-viewable portion of a bone of a patient; identifying, by the processing system, based on the ultrasound imaging data, a soft tissue attachment point, wherein the soft tissue attachment point is a point on the non-viewable portion of the bone at which a soft tissue structure is attached to the bone; and causing, by the processing system, a Mixed Reality visualization device to display a virtual indicator superimposed on a viewable portion of the bone at a location corresponding to the soft tissue attachment point.
