Abstract:
The present invention relates to a medical tracking system comprising at least one sensor device which can be positioned in a fixed position relative to a target, the sensor device comprising a marker device and a marker device detector, the marker device detector being capable of obtaining information for determining a relative position between the marker device detector and another marker device, the system further comprising a control unit configured to process a medical navigation workflow and to select the function of the sensor device as either acting as a marker device detector or as a marker device in a step of the medical navigation workflow.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an image guided surgery system comprising—a surgical instrument (14),—a tracking system for locating and tracking an object (20) in a surgical environment, the tracking system including a tracking sensor system, in particular a tracking camera system (16); and—a medical navigation system (15) processing tracking data from the tracking system and image data of the object (20), and outputting image data and navigational assistance on a display (13). The instrument (14), the tracking system including the sensor system (16) and the medical navigation system including the display are integrated in one single portable unit (10), or the instrument (14) and the medical navigation system including the display are integrated in one single portable unit (10), while at least the sensor system (34) of the tracking system is arranged at a location near a region of interest determined by the object (20) and the field of surgery.

Abstract:
A medical tracking system comprising at least two sensor devices which are independently maneuverable and can be positioned in a fixed position relative to targets, each sensor device comprising at least one of an orientation sensor and a position sensor for respectively determining sensor data, the system further comprising a control unit configured to receive and combine the at least two sensor data of the at least two sensor devices in order to determine a relative position between at least two of the at least two sensor devices.
Abstract:
A deformable marker device for adapting to a human or animal body includes a plurality of marker elements, and a connecting device that connects at least some marker elements of the plurality of marker elements to each other. The connecting device enables the at least some marker elements to be moved relative to each other so as to adapt a shape of the marker device to a course of a curved surface.

Abstract:
Determining a three-dimensional model of a rim of an anatomical structure using two-dimensional images of the rim. The images are taken from different directions and each image can provide a different two-dimensional contour of the rim. Corresponding pairs of points are identified in the images and are used with a transformation matrix to calculate the three-dimensional model. The model may then be used to assist physicians in implantation procedures.
