Optical surgical navigation/tracking system

Definition

A mobile assembly of electrically-powered devices intended to provide a physician with optical tools to track manual surgical instruments and locate anatomical structures; it may be intended to overlay pre-acquired radiological images or real-time data [e.g., ultrasound (US)] for surgical navigation, and be capable of creating digital 3-D patient models. It consists of a workstation with controls/display, position/movement tracking cameras (e.g., infrared), adaptors, and sensors/spatial markers designed to be attached to the patient and instruments. It is used for multiple surgical procedures (e.g., craniotomy, tumour resection) in various fields [e.g., ENT, neurosurgery, CMF surgery].
