Abstract

A multi-modality image based system is presented allowing for comfortable pre-operative planning and simulation of surgical procedures as well as real-time intra-operative tracking and visualization of surgical instruments. For this purpose a standard surgical tool set is instrumented with light emitting diode (LED) markers to be registered by an opto-electronic space digitization system. As a challenging clinical application within the field of orthopaedic surgery the image guided insertion of spinal pedicular screws is studied. The adaptation to other applications in orthopaedic surgery is currently being developed.
