    Abstract: An automated craniotomy opening apparatus includes a drilling apparatus with a drilling tip, at least one drilling apparatus positioning device, a detection device, and a computer processor that automatically controls the drilling apparatus, the positioning device, and the detection device. A method for automated opening of craniotomies includes, under automatice control of a computer processor, drilling into a skull for a predetermined distance and determining when there is a conductance drop near the drilling tip that indicates skull breakthrough. If the conductance is not below a predetermined threshold, drilling continues iteratively manner until conductance is below the threshold. A craniotomy pattern may be predetermined and automatically drilled under control of the processor. A cranial window may be created by drilling along a path that interpolates between holes to form the circumference of the window. Determining conductance may include use of an impedance detection circuit.

    Abstract translation: 开颅手术自动打开的方法包括在计算机处理器的控制下,将颅骨钻入预定距离,并确定何时在钻尖附近有指示颅骨突破的电导滴落。 如果电导率不低于预定阈值,则钻探继续迭代,直到电导低于阈值。 开颅模式可以在处理器的控制下被预先确定并自动钻孔。 可以通过在孔之间内插的路径钻孔来形成颅窗,以形成窗的圆周。 自动开颅开放装置包括具有钻头的钻孔装置,至少一个钻孔装置定位装置,检测装置以及根据该方法控制钻孔装置,定位装置和检测装置的计算机处理器。 确定电导可以包括使用阻抗检测电路。
