Zusammenfassung:A surgical device tracking system for visualization of the position and orientation of a surgical device during a surgical procedure, the system comprising a surgical device comprising at least one sensor, an input instrument, adapted to communicate with one or more sensor on the surgical device, for generating position and orientation data, a processing system for acquiring and interpreting the data and generating a plurality of outputs, and a display system for viewing at least one of the generated outputs. The processing system being capable of receiving and analyzing a descriptive input of the surgical device incorporating the sensor, and determining physical parameters relative to a tissue structure and the relative position, orientation and motion of the surgical device therein, the processing system also acquiring treatment location data.
