    摘要: Systems, and methods are provided for computer based method for determining a source of a registration error in a surgical navigation system, by registering at least two patient reference markers in a common coordinate space, positioning at least one reference marker in a known position with respect to at least one of two patient reference markers. A relative position of the at least two patient reference markers with respect to each other in the common coordinate space is monitored, as well as a position of said at least one reference marker with respect to a first of the at least two patient reference markers. Upon detecting a change in relative position of the least at least two patient reference markers with respect to each other, determining if the position of said at least one reference marker with respect to the first of the at least two patient reference markers has changed, and if yes, designating that the first patient reference marker has moved, and if not, designating that the second of the at least two patient reference markers has moved.

    摘要: A flexible high resolution endoscope is provided herein. The endoscope comprises: a plurality of optical fiber bundles; a plurality of lenses in a one-to-one relationship with the plurality of optical fiber bundles; and, a plurality of cameras in a one-to-one relationship with the plurality of optical fiber bundles, each respective optical fiber bundle, of the plurality of optical fiber bundles, having a respective lens, of the plurality of lenses, located at a respective distal end, and a camera, of the plurality of cameras, located at a respective proximal end, the plurality of optical fiber bundles being coupled together at a common distal end, and otherwise being uncoupled from one another, a bending radius of the endoscope defined by a largest respective bending radius of each of the plurality of optical fiber bundles.

    摘要: A medical navigation system is provided for registering a patient for a medical procedure with the medical navigation system using fiducial markers. The fiducial markers are placed on the patient prior to a 3D scan and the fiducial markers each have a target for use with a tracking system. The medical navigation system comprises a 3D scanner, a tracking system, a display, and a controller electrically coupled to the 3D scanner, the tracking system, and the display. The controller has a processor coupled to a memory. The controller is configured to: receive 3D scan data generated by the 3D scanner representative of a 3D scan of at least a portion of the patient, the 3D scan including the fiducial markers visible by the 3D scanner; load from the memory saved medical image data, the saved medical data including preoperative image data saved during a previous scan of at least a portion of the patient; receive position data from the tracking system based on the target for each of the fiducial markers; and perform a transformation mapping to create a single unified virtual coordinate space based on the 3D scan data, the position data, and the medical image data, and updating registration data of the medical navigation system based on the transformation mapping.
