Ultrasound Based Navigation and Control for Orthopaedic Robot Surgery

Více o knize

The book delves into the advancements of robotic surgery, highlighting a novel navigation system designed to enhance surgical precision for orthopedic procedures, particularly in hip resurfacing. By utilizing real-time ultrasound imaging and a preloaded CT model, the system accurately determines bone position without the need for implants, relying instead on passive optical markers. Experimental tests on a femur phantom demonstrate the effectiveness of this innovative approach, which aims to improve patient safety and outcomes by minimizing invasiveness and complications.
