Outline • Introduction • System • Interferences • Symmetry • Statistical analysis of data • Conclusion • Further work • References
Introduction • Part of project II44004, HUMANISAM, which is financed by Serbian Ministry of Science • Percutaneous Vertebroplasty – PVP • Providing structural support for fractured and weaken vertebra • Design and realization of a system for magnetic tracking of the needle during PVP
System • Based on Hall-effect sensors • Senis GmbH; Sentronis AD
Magnet and needle • Axial polarization • Needle for PVP
Interferences • Are there interferences from the presence of human body?
Symmetry • Symmetry of data due to symmetry of the system • Can be an advantage in further development • Elimination of excess measurements • Substitution of the sensors
Statistical analysis of data • Statistics gives the best view of a large data set • Mean, Standard deviation, Variance
Conclusion • We proven the hypothesis that the movement of the needle can be detected with Hall-effect • The system is precise, but the actual precision is yet to be determine • Data are consistent and repetitive • System is immune to the interferences that can accrue during the procedure
Further work • Transformation of measured voltage values in to the position of the magnet, and with that the position of the needle • Combination with X-ray fluoroscopy • Determining the exact precision of the system
