Zusammenfassung:A system or method may be used to align a guide (e.g., a screw guide, a trajectory guide for biopsies, etc.) for insertion of a screw, instrument, or tool (e.g., a spinal screw) at a specified angle. The system and method may track the movement and angle of the guide which may be affixed to an articulated arm with respect to a reference point based on sensor data. The system and method may determine whether the guide is at the specified angle based on sensor data.
