    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for configuring a surgical tool during surgery. A laser scanner generates sensor data and a processor determines spatial data indicative of a position of the anatomical feature and of a position of a tool interface that is fixed in relation to the anatomical feature based on the sensor data. The processor also determines a first desired spatial configuration of the surgical tool in relation to the tool interface based on the spatial data and a second desired spatial configuration of the surgical tool in relation to the anatomical feature. The outcome is more accurate and less complex than other methods, such as methods that are based on reference to the absolute positions of the anatomical feature and the surgical tool within an operation theatre.
