1. A method of image-guided intervention for a patient, the method comprising steps of:
providing an installation of an augmented reality system at a first image acquisition apparatus, the augmented reality system in communication with a computer with a processor and a memory, and the augmented reality system having an augmented reality system coordinate system and the first image acquisition apparatus having a first image acquisition apparatus coordinate system, the first image acquisition apparatus further having a patient table for receiving the patient and an imager for acquiring a first holographic image dataset from the patient while on the patient table, and the installation further including steps of:
placing a first optical image target at a predetermined location on the imager;
acquiring a first optical image target coordinates from the first optical image target with the augmented reality system;
acquiring with one of the first image acquisition apparatus and a second image acquisition apparatus a real-time holographic image dataset of the patient during the image-guided intervention;
determining a pre-registration transformation of the first image acquisition apparatus coordinate system into the augmented reality system coordinate system using the first optical image target coordinates; and
storing the pre-registration transformation in the memory of the computer, whereby a pre-registration of the first image acquisition apparatus with the augmented reality system is performed; and
following the installation of the augmented reality system and the pre-registration of the first image acquisition apparatus with the augmented reality system, applying the pre-registration transformation to transform the first holographic image dataset from the first image acquisition apparatus coordinate system to the augmented reality system coordinate system,
wherein the first image acquisition apparatus is one of a multidetector row computerized tomography (MDCT) imager and a C-arm angio fluoroscopy imager, and the second image acquisition apparatus is an ultrasound transducer.
