Abstract

Image-guided surgery (IGS) system has become well known in the field of neurosurgery and spine surgery. A patient's anatomy is first registered to preoperatively acquired CT/ MRI data using the point matching algorithm. A magnetic field digitizer was used to measure the physical space data and the system was based on Workstation of Unix system. To evaluate the spatial accuracy of interactive IGS system, the phantom consisting of rods varied height and known location was used. The RMS error value between CT/MR images and real location was 3-4mm. For the more convenience of the surgery, we provide various image display modules.
