The paper illustrates a method, based on the recognition of the point of observation of two fluoroscopic or radiographic images, and on the reconstruction of the position in space of the bones, once their initial position is determined from the two images, enabling, through the use of "Enhanced Reality", to represent the position of the bones during a process of fracture reduction. This eliminates X ray exposure of Doctors and technicians, reducing it also to patients. The term "Enhanced" is used instead of the more common "Virtual" since the representation is composed by two bi-dimensional representations on two approximately perpendicular planes of the actual bone position in the initial scale of the radiographic images, as measured by an external measuring device.

Abstract
The paper illustrates a method, based on the recognition of the point of observation of two fluoroscopic or radiographic images, and on the reconstruction of the position in space of the bones, once their initial position is determined from the two images, enabling, through the use of "Enhanced Reality", to represent the position of the bones during a process of fracture reduction. This eliminates X ray exposure of Doctors and technicians, reducing it also to patients. The term "Enhanced" is used instead of the more common "Virtual" since the representation is composed by two bi-dimensional representations on two approximately perpendicular planes of the actual bone position in the initial scale of the radiographic images, as measured by an external measuring device.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
