Abstract
A system provides a computer-implemented rendered visualization of a surgeon’s path or “roadmap” to a particular target region during a surgical case are disclosed herein. The system includes an approach library in communication with an operating microscope that includes data related to various surgical approach sequences, or “roadmaps” to various target regions. The approach library can be populated by the system and analyzed for variance and trends, as well as provide direct or indirect instruction and guidance through a display member during a surgical case.
Claims10
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a set of Cartesian datapoints associated with a Cartesian position of a focal point of an operative microscope at a time step of a plurality of time steps, wherein the set of Cartesian datapoints are defined with respect to a stereotactic Cartesian coordinate system;
- assigning a Cartesian zone to each respective landmark region of a plurality of landmark regions within a video captured by the operative microscope based on the Cartesian positions of the operative microscope and focal point;
- and
- populating an approach library with the set of Cartesian datapoints for a surgical case including the assigned Cartesian zones for the plurality of landmark regions, wherein each landmark region is associated with a particular step of an approach sequence.
