METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REGISTERING A BONE OF A PATIENT WITH A COMPUTER ASSISTED ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system for registering a bone of a patient with a computer assisted orthopaedic surgery system includes retrieving an image of the bone having indicia of the position of a magnetic source coupled thereto, determining first data indicative of the position of the magnetic source in a bone coordinate system, determining second data indicative of a correlation between a coordinate system of the image and the bone coordinate system based on the first data; and displaying an image of the bone based on the second data.
