Interactive image-guided surgical system.

摘要

An interactive system guiding the use of a surgical tool (38) using at least one imaging technique, characterized by a mechanical arm (34) having a fixed base (36) and a tool holder that holds the surgical tool (38) at a second end and a display (108) which displays at least one image from an image space of a patient's anatomy (18), the interactive system further comprising a computer (104) coupled to the display (108) and the mechanical arm (34) which tracks the location of the surgical tool (38) through physical space, performs a transforming rotation of the physical space to the image space, and causes said display (108) to display the location of the surgical tool (38) within the image space.
