Abstract
Methods and systems for performing a preliminary registration is provided. Image data corresponding to an image depicting a tracking device and an anatomical element may be received. Robot positional data corresponding to a position of a robot may also be received. The robot and the anatomical element may be located in a common three-dimensional coordinate system based on the image data and the positional data to yield a preliminary registration. A suggested robot position may be determined based on the preliminary registration and a dimensional reach of a robot arm of the robot.
Claims10
A preliminary registration method comprising:
- receiving image data corresponding to an image depicting a tracking device and an anatomical element, the tracking device disposed on a surface of a patient;
- receiving robot positional data corresponding to a position of a robot;
- locating the robot and the anatomical element in a common three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system based on the image data and the robot positional data to yield a preliminary registration;
- determining a suggested robot position based on the preliminary registration and a dimensional reach of a robotic arm of the robot;
- and
- receiving a surgical plan having a planned trajectory of one or more medical devices, the planned trajectory comprising a suggested depth of insertion and a suggested angle of insertion for each of the one or more medical devices, and wherein the determining is further based on the surgical plan.
