Abstract:
On account of the problem that traditional C-arm X-ray apparatus cannot provide precise route guidance for minimally invasive surgeries, we designed and developed a laser positioning and navigation system based on C-arm X-ray apparatus, which can achieve precise positioning function and reduce the exposure of doctors and patients to radiation in minimally invasive surgeries under the linear guidance of a laser beam. Furthermore, this system can enhance the refinement level of surgical operation in minimally invasive surgeries.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is a eukaryotic organelle that has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance. It is a primary sorting and dispatch station for cargo arriving from the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter the cis face of the Golgi, closest to the ER, and are...
