COMPUTER-AIDED SURGICAL PLANNING AND PROCEDURES A.Schaeffer; PolyDimensions GmbH, Bickenbach
Overview: • Technical fundamentals • Examples • State-of-the-Art • Problems • Results • Future developments
Technical fundamentals : Which components are used: • Computer system (mostly PC-Hardware) • Specialized software (mainly CAD-software, optimized for anatomy • Tracking devices (optical, electromagnetical, …) • Visualization systems (2D-/3D-Displays, Head-mounted-displays) • User Interaction (mouse, joystick, voice-control, gesture recognition) • Interaction with patient (microinstruments, robots…)
Examples: Planning of procedures from digital medical imaging data: • Image recognition and segmentation • Triangulation • Visualization
Generation of CAD models: © Simbionix Ltd., Israel © PolyDimensions GmbH, Bickenbach
Results: 3D models of patient anatomy for planning of surgical approach © MeVis GmbH, Bremen
Benefits: Access to computerized calculations • Estimation of size and localization • Calculation of blood supply and resection lines • 3D/Stereo-Visualization • Use for Augmented Reality
Problems and Challenges: • Automated image recognition not yet advanced enough • Time-consuming preprocessing • Computer-user-interface has to be improved for use in the OR • Skilled users are mandatory for interpretation and use of digital data
Navigation in the OR: Already in clinical use in for special procedures • Electromagnetical • Optical • Ultrasound • Others… © BrainLAB AG, Heimstetten
Benefits of navigation in the OR: • Exact localization of anatomical structures like tumors e.g. • Positioning of instruments • Use for robotic surgery • Tracking and navigation needed for Augmented Reality
Problems: • Special Precautions necessary for reliable use • Expensive • Still not usable for procedures on soft-tissue anatomy
Real-time simulation for planning and education: • Already standard in aviation industry:
