Medical navigation systems (MNS) enhance image-guided therapy by integrating instrument position with imaging data. These systems are expanding beyond neurosurgery into fields like orthopaedics, improving precision in interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical technology
  • Surgical navigation
  • Image-guided therapy

Context:

  • Medical navigation systems (MNS) integrate real-time imaging with instrument tracking for precise targeting.
  • These systems unify anatomical information and therapeutic actions, enhancing surgical accuracy.
  • MNS are increasingly adopted across surgical disciplines, moving beyond established use in neurosurgery.

Purpose:

  • To review the principles, types, and applications of navigation systems in image-guided therapy.
  • To highlight the role of MNS in improving surgical precision and reducing invasiveness.
  • To discuss the challenges in determining clinical accuracy and the need for further clinical trials.

Summary:

  • Navigation systems visually guide surgical instruments by overlaying their position onto medical images (2D/3D).

  • Patient-based navigation (PBN) and modality-based navigation (MBN) are two primary approaches, with MBN offering intra-operative imaging without pre-registration.
  • While established in neurosurgery for biopsies and deep-seated pathologies, MNS are rapidly expanding into orthopaedic surgery and other fields.

    • Impact:

    • MNS offer potential for reduced radiation exposure and enhanced digital image processing during interventions.
    • Clinical accuracy typically ranges from below 1 mm to approximately 5 mm deviation.
    • The expansion of MNS necessitates further research, including prospective randomized trials, to validate their efficacy compared to conventional methods.
