Method and apparatus for verifying and correcting tracking of an anatomical structure during surgery

A method and apparatus verifies and optionally, corrects tracking during computer assisted surgery by tracking a plurality of trackable targets, at least one of which is initially capable of positioning independent of the other targets. A geometric relationship between said targets is calculated and...

Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus verifies and optionally, corrects tracking during computer assisted surgery by tracking a plurality of trackable targets, at least one of which is initially capable of positioning independent of the other targets. A geometric relationship between said targets is calculated and later verified, to detect instability of the trackable targets and their mounting system.
