A surgical navigation system has a computer (101) with a memory (202) and a display (102) connected to a surgical instrument or pointer (109) and a position tracking system (105, 110, 111), so that the location and orientation of the pointer (109) are tracked in real time, and conveyed to the computer (101). The computer memory (202) is loaded with data from an MRI, CT, or other volumetric scan of a patient, and this data is utilized to dynamically display 3-dimensional perspective images in real time of the patient's anatomy from the viewpoint of the pointer (109). |
