    摘要: A system and method are provided for positioning of an emitter and a receiver of an imaging device relative to an area of interest of a patient supported on a surgical frame to facilitate capturing of a desired image of the area of interest. During use of the system and method, the area of interest can be identified using images of the patient generated prior to surgery, at least one optical navigation marker can be placed on skin of the patient adjacent the area of interest, a physical distance between two reference points on the surgical frame can be measured, and images of the patient positioned on the surgical frame can be captured using an optical camera system. A location of the optical navigation marker adjacent the area of interest in an X, Y, and Z coordinate system can be determined using the captured images of the patient and at least one ratio to the measured physical distance, the emitter and the receiver can be moved into position relative to the optical navigation marker adjacent the area of interest using the determined location thereof in the X, Y, and Z coordinate system, and use of an electromagnetic imaging technique can be initiated using the emitter and the receiver to produce the desired image of the area of interest. The system and method can be used in limiting the need for a multitude of uses of the fluoroscopy apparatus by positioning the emitter and the receiver in an ideal position relative to the area of interest.
