    摘要: Intraoperative stereotaxic navigation system 10 for determining an orientation of a surgical tool (12) relative to a patient's anatomy located within a surgical environment (16). The system (10) includes a radar-based sensor (18) which is operable to define a field-of-view FOV 20 and determine at least one of relative distance to, direction to, and orientation of, one or more objects in the FOV 20, and a mount (24) configured to releasably secure the sensor (18) to one of the patient (26) and the tool (12) to allow the other of the patient (26) and the tool (12) to be within the FOV 20. A processor (28) is communicatively connectable with the radar-based sensor (18) and configured to determine the orientation of the tool (12) responsive to receiving at least one of relative distance, direction and/or orientation information, from the sensor (18), relating to at least one of the patient (26) and the tool (12), and receiving information relating to orientation of the patient (26) relative to the surgical environment (16).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system 10 for positioning a medical tool within a lumen. The system 10 comprises a positioning device 11 and a control system 12. The positioning device 11 comprises a cylindrical body 110, configured to receive the medical tool, and an actuator 120 configured to apply a force to an internal wall of the lumen to move the cylindrical body 110 in a radial direction within the lumen. The control system 12 is configured to: receive an input signal indicative of a target position of the cylindrical body 110, and provide an output signal to control the actuator 120 to move the cylindrical body 110 to adopt the target position. The system 10 may comprise a camera and utilise image recognition to identify a target location in an image captured by the camera to determine the target position of the cylindrical body 110. The system 10 may be configured such that the cylindrical body 110 is automatically moved to the target position. The system 10 may also be configured to compensate for unintended movement of the cylindrical body 110 away from the target position. The system 10 may be particularly applicable to positioning a needle within an ear canal to perform an intratympanic injection.
