This study introduces a new magnetic surgical guidance system to overcome line-of-sight issues common with optical trackers. The integrated system aims to improve intra-operative accuracy and surgeon

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Active, optical tracking surgical guidance systems present line-of-sight challenges for surgeons.
  • Existing systems can be occluded during complex procedures, hindering real-time guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated surgical guidance system utilizing a novel magnetic tracking technology.
  • To address the limitations of optical tracking systems in intra-operative settings.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of the 'Aurora' magnetic tracking system (Northern Digital Inc. and Mednetix AG) with intra-operative fluoroscopy.
  • Development of specialized modules for the magnetic surgical guidance system.
  • Implementation of a novel registration method for accurate system calibration.
