MEDICAL PROCEDURE LOCALIZING AID

摘要

A medical procedure localization aid produces reference marks on both the patient and the medical imaging scan. The aid is defined by an imaging substrate having indicia on one side that is opaque to medical imaging and a second substrate having indicia that appears on the patient's surface for the procedure. Anchor points align the second substrate to the same position as the first substrate on the patient. By visualizing the location of a target on the scan image relative to the indicia on the scan image and comparing that with indicia on the patient, a medical processional may reliably locate where a medical procedure should be performed.
