DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): One of the important developments in disease treatment over the past decade has been the development of image-guided procedures. The rise of such systems has also been associated with a contraction of the market with a few companies becoming the dominant players in the field. In such a contracted commercial state, the field does not rapidly expand but rather has to wait for the large corporations see enough potential profit in new applications to innovate. One of the barriers to new innovation is the complexity of the imageguided procedure task, requiring understanding of three dimensional tracking systems, image to physical space registration techniques, display methodologies, graphic techniques, data IO and methods of using intraoperative data to correct preoperative assumptions or to deal with temporal changes. In this proposal we propose to create an open architecture/closed source system for image-guide procedures. Such a system would allow organizations, technology companies and other more agile innovators to prototype new systems without having to expend considerable effort outside of their expertise. It would also provide a common platform allowing consortia of organizations (academic, research and commercial) to coalesce on new applications bringing new therapeutic techniques to the market more quickly.

描述（由申请人提供）：过去十年来疾病治疗的重要发展之一是图像引导程序的发展。这种系统的兴起也与市场收缩有关，其中一些公司成为该领域的主要参与者。在这种合同的商业国家中，该领域并没有迅速扩展，而必须等待大型公司在新应用程序中看到足够的潜在利润来创新。新创新的障碍之一是图像引导过程任务的复杂性，需要了解三维跟踪系统，图像到物理空间注册技术，显示方法，图形技术，数据IO和使用术中数据的方法以及使用术中数据以纠正术前假设或处理时间变化。在此建议中，我们建议为图像指南过程创建一个开放的体系结构/封闭源系统。这样的系统将允许组织，技术公司和其他更敏捷的创新者来原型新系统，而不必在其专业知识之外花费大量精力。它还将提供一个通用平台，允许组织（学术，研究和商业）的财团在新应用程序上合并，从而更快地将新的治疗技术推向市场。
