A novel method for patient registration in computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery automates marker detection using a unique reference frame. This enhances accuracy and efficiency, replacing manual processes in surgical navigation systems.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Patient registration is critical for accurate computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery.
  • Manual marker identification is time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies.
  • Existing navigation systems require manual teaching of markers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new, automated approach for patient registration in computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery.
  • To replace the manual and time-consuming marker identification process.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of surgical navigation.

Main Methods:

  • A unique marker structure embedded in a reference frame was developed.
  • Algorithms for automatic detection of the coordinate system from medical imaging data were created.

  • The method was integrated into the RoboDent navigation system for dental implant surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • The new method enables automatic detection of the coordinate system during surgery.
    • Experiments with 45 patient datasets demonstrated robustness, usability, and safety.
    • Manual marker identification and teaching processes were successfully replaced.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented approach offers a robust, usable, and safe solution for patient registration.
    • Automation of marker detection significantly improves efficiency in computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery.
    • The method is validated and integrated into a practical surgical navigation system.
