DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE REPRODUCIBLE POSITIONING OF AN OBJECT RELATIVE TO AN INTRACORPOREAL AREA

摘要

The invention relates to a device and method for the reproducible positioning of an object relative to an intracorporeal area. Said device comprises an element (4) for capturing intracorporeal cross-sectional images, a position detection system (1, 3), which detects at least the three-dimensional position of the element for capturing the intracorporeal cross-sectional images, an evaluation system (5), which stores and evaluates at least some of the detected three-dimensional positional information relating to the element for capturing the intracorporeal cross-sectional images, in addition to said captured intracorporeal cross-sectional images and a navigation unit (6, 51), comprising navigation aids (B1, B2) for positioning the object relative to the body, based on the attitude and position of the element for capturing intracorporeal cross-sectional images and at least one stored target position.
