Abstract
A method for surgical navigation includes providing a graphical user interface showing a virtual boundary around a target axis, tracking a movement of a tool toward the target axis, and updating the graphical user interface by collapsing the virtual boundary towards the target axis based on 5 the movement of the tool.
Claims20
A method for surgical navigation, comprising:
- providing a graphical user interface showing a virtual boundary around a target axis;
- tracking a movement of a tool toward the target axis;
- and
- updating the graphical user interface by collapsing the virtual boundary towards the target axis based on the movement of the tool.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a surgical tool;
- and
- a computer-assisted surgery system configured to:
- track a movement of the surgical tool relative to a target axis;
- provide a graphical user interface showing a virtual boundary around the target axis;
- and
- update the graphical user interface by collapsing the virtual boundary towards the target axis based on the movement of the surgical tool.
4 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface showing a virtual boundary around a target axis;
- determining, based on tracking data, a movement of a tool toward the target axis;
- and
- updating the graphical user interface by collapsing the virtual boundary towards the target axis based on the movement of the tool.
