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.
Claims20
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 positional data to yield a preliminary registration;
- and
- determining a suggested robot position based on the preliminary registration and a dimensional reach of a robotic arm of the robot.
A preliminary registration method comprising:
- positioning a tracking device near a planned surgical site on a patient, the tracking device having a first tracker and a second tracker;
- receiving image data depicting the first tracker and an anatomical element;
- receiving second tracker positional data corresponding to a position of the second tracker and 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, the second tracker positional data, and the robot positional data to yield a preliminary registration;
- and
- determining a suggested robot position based on the preliminary registration and a dimensional reach of the robot.
A system for preliminary registration, comprising:
- a tracking device configured to rest on a non-sterile surface of a patient's skin;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a surgical plan corresponding to a planned surgical procedure;
- receive image data corresponding to an image depicting the tracking and an anatomical element of the patient;
- receive robot positional data corresponding to a position of a robot;
- locate the robot and the anatomical element in a common three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system based on the image data and the positional data to yield a preliminary registration;
- and
- determine a suggested robot position based on the location of the robot in the 3D coordinate system, a dimensional reach of the robot, and the surgical plan.
