PATIENT IMAGING During diagnostic imaging, the patient is not required to wear a headset or fiducial markers. The scan is taken with a standard CT/MR protocol that ensures the optimum accuracy and resolution required for image-guided surgery. Because the CT/MR scan requires no headset or fiducial markers, the need for an additional scan once required to perform image-guided surgery is eliminated. This allows the surgeon to navigate within his/her original diagnostic imaging scan, thus reducing radiation exposure to the patient. ATTACHMENT OF THE REFERENCE HEADBAND BrainLAB’s Reference Headband is designed for usage in ENT and cranial navigation cases. The headband ensures dynamic patient tracking throughout the case and eliminates the need for invasive patient immobilization or uncomfortable headsets. BrainLAB’s flexible VELCRO�- band adjusts smoothly to the patient’s head and fits all patient sizes. The innovative design avoids intra-operative shift and guarantees navigational accuracy throughout surgery. PATIENT REGISTRATION z-touch� laser registration forms the basis of BrainLAB’s headset-free scanning and registration. z-touch is a special laser pointer that allows to utilize each patient’s head and facial anatomy for registration. Once the patient’s facial or head surface is randomly scanned, BrainLAB’s advanced surfacematching algorithm quickly calculates patient registration. Physicians are able to accurately register patients without using patient markers or headsets. Calculation errors, which may occur through landmark-point coordination, are therefore eliminated. INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION With BrainLAB’s redesigned instrument calibration matrix (ICM), the tip of extremely bent or curved instruments can easily be calibrated for use in navigation. Calibration is quickly achieved by affixing the desired instrument with one of BrainLAB’s wireless instrument adaptor clamps and then touching the tip of the surgical instrument to one of the two pivot points on the ICM. The software automatically calculates the exact location of the instrument’s tip and the instrument is ready for navigation. In addition, the instrument’s shape and diameter can also be calibrated by inserting the shaft of the instrument into the holes of the ICM. 09
