摘要： A diagnostic imaging apparatus such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device includes a gradient coil assembly (34) and an RF coil (36) disposed proximate pole faces (30, 32). An interventional head coil assembly (40) includes a base (90), a head frame housing (96) including at least one first conductor (130) associated therewith, a first mount (94) that connects the head frame housing (96) to the base (90), a bridge housing (98) including at least one second conductor (142) associated therewith, and a second mount (100) that connects the bridge housing (98) to the head frame housing (96) thereby coupling the at least one first conductor (130) to the at least one second conductor (142) to form a surface coil for use in imaging an object attached to the head frame housing (96).

摘要： A microscope calibrator probe includes a handle, a tool head connected to the handle, a viewable target connected to an end of the tool head opposite the handle, and three or more position signaling devices disposed on the handle for tracking the probe in an image guided surgery system. The tool head includes a bend of approximately 90 degrees to provide easy placement of the viewable target on an object being viewed below a microscope. Other angles for the bend are also acceptable. A precise location of the object being viewed is determined by sensing a location the three or more position signaling devices disposed on the handle with respect to an operating room reference frame and knowing an offset between the position signaling devices and a bottom surface of the viewable target in contact with the object. Additionally, the viewable target includes a viewable aperture for calibrating a line of sight of the microscope and a means for indicating a rotational sense of the viewable target.

摘要： A tool for use with a surgical navigation system includes a plurality of LEDs mounted to the distal end of the tool. The LED's provide an indication of the direction in which the tool must be moved to reach a desired position. Four LED's mounted along perpendicular axes are provided. Modes for indicating the desired location, orientation, rotation, and depth are provided. A mode indicator may also be provided. The tool is designed for use with a surgical navigation system which includes an infrared localizer and computer system. The indicators assist the surgeon in positioning the surgical tool in relation to the patient. Indicators other than LEDs may be used; the indicators may also be mounted in alternate locations in the operating room environment.

摘要： A microscope calibrator includes a housing supporting a series of focusing targets each situated at a predetermined distance from one another. Attributes of the microscope are determined by focusing the microscope on one ore more of the focusing targetrs and determining a location of the microscope with respect to the focusing targets focused upon. The position of the focusing targets are determinable by virtue of a local reference frame target attached to the microscope calibrator or by using a tracked probe to communicate the location of each point focused upon by the microscope on each of the focusing targets.
