Surgical navigation systems have been used in orthopaedics for many years. These solutions however often mean additional time and complexity because, essentially, of the markers. We want to introduce a new solution based on depth camera which could be used intraoperatively to estimate the 3D pose of surgical instruments without specific markers. The goal of this paper is to assess, on synthetic data, an algorithm called Clustered Viewpoint Feature Histogram (CVFH) to estimate the pose of an orthopaedic cut guide used during knee surgeries. A specific simulator has been developed for this study which allows the simulation of a point cloud associated to the cut guide. The Average Distance Distinguishable (ADD) metric has been measured 1000 times according to several cut guide orientations and several noise levels. The success rate has also been analyzed. It is commonly considered that the pose is correctly estimated if ADD is less than 10% of the largest dimension of the object. The ADD metric and the success rate vary from 2.12 ± 4.46 mm to 2.82 ± 5.73mm and from 96.0% to 92.4% for respectively a low (0 mm) and a high noise (10mm). The results are very promising. However, more parameters have to be assessed. Similarly, the accuracy and reliability of such method have to be evaluated in a real clinical environment.

Abstract In this paper we present novel solutions to support the application of computer assisted surgical interventions in which optical surgical navigation systems based on stereo cameras are used. The objective is to improve both the pre-operative setup and the intra-operative use of the navigation system. Following a short introduction describing the potential for improvements of existing navigation systems new approaches and the components to implement them are described. The pre-operative alignment of the stereo camera is made easier by attaching a small graphic display to its tripod which can show how much of the operating area is covered by the measurement volume of the camera. The intra-operative application is improved by a mechanism for motorized camera motions in order to follow the position of surgical instruments. Furthermore a small display can be attached to a surgical instrument which clearly indicates to the surgeon how to guide the instrument in order to stay on the planned trajectory.

Background Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a fast imaging technique with a substantially lower radiation dosage than conventional multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for sinus imaging. Surgical navigation systems are increasingly being used in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, reducing perioperative morbidity. Objective To investigate CBCT as a low-radiation imaging modality for use in surgical navigation. Methods The required field of view was measured from the tip of the nose to the posterior clinoid process anteroposteriorly and the nasolabial angle to the roof of the frontal sinus superoinferiorly on 50 consecutive MDCT scans (male = 25; age = 17–85 years). A phantom head was manufactured by 3-dimensional printing and imaged using 3 CBCT scanners (Carestream, J Morita, and NewTom), a conventional MDCT scanner (Siemens), and highly accurate laser scanner (FARO). The phantom head was registered to 3 surgical navigation systems (Brainlab, Stryker, and Medtronic) using scans from each system. Results The required field of view (mean ± standard deviation) was measured as 107 ± 7.6 mm anteroposteriorly and 90.3 ± 9.6 mm superoinferiorly. Image error deviations from the laser scan (median ± interquartile range) were comparable for MDCT (0.19 ± 0.09 mm) and CBCT (CBCT 1: 0.15 ± 0.11 mm; CBCT 2: 0.33 ± 0.18 mm; and CBCT 3: 0.13 ± 0.13 mm) scanners. Fiducial registration error and target registration error were also comparable for MDCT- and CBCT-based navigation. Conclusion CBCT is a low-radiation preoperative imaging modality suitable for use in surgical navigation.

Abstract Differentiation of true tumor progression from treatment-related effects remains a major unmet need in caring for patients with glioblastoma. Here, we report how the intraoperative combination of MRI with18F-fluciclovine PET guided surgical sampling in 2 patients with recurrent glioblastoma.18F-Fluciclovine PET is FDA approved for use in prostate cancer and carries an orphan drug designation in glioma. To investigate its utility in recurrent glioblastoma, we fused PET and MRI images using 2 different surgical navigation systems and performed targeted stereotactic biopsies from the areas of high (“hot”) and low (“cold”) radiotracer uptake. Concordant histopathologic and imaging findings suggest that a combined18F-fluciclovine PET-MRI–guided approach can guide neurosurgical resection of viable recurrent glioblastoma in the background of treatment-related effects, which can otherwise look similar on MRI.

Complete resection of glioma is required to obtain a satisfactory outcome in neurosurgical treatment. It is difficult for neurosurgeons to identify the boundary between glioma and normal tissue using the naked eye alone, so surgical assistance systems such as surgical navigation systems for the detection of brain tumor have been used in clinical operations. Intraoperative information obtained from intraoperative biomedical measurement systems must be integrated to detect brain tumors more accurately. In this research, we developed an intraoperative information integration platform using middleware that has global positioning and global time management capabilities. To evaluate the platform, we developed an integrated platform consisting of devices and systems for neurosurgery. Through experiments, we confirmed the basic performance and effectiveness of our platform in a simulated clinical environment.

AbstractWhile medical imaging data have traditionally been viewed on two-dimensional (2D) displays, augmented reality (AR) allows physicians to project the medical imaging data on patient's bodies to locate important anatomy. We present a surgical AR application to plan the retrosigmoid craniotomy, a standard approach to access the posterior fossa and the internal auditory canal. As a simple and accurate alternative to surface landmarks and conventional surgical navigation systems, our AR application augments the surgeon's vision to guide the optimal location of cortical bone removal. In this work, two surgeons performed a retrosigmoid approach 14 times on eight cadaver heads. In each case, the surgeon manually aligned a computed tomography (CT)-derived virtual rendering of the sigmoid sinus on the real cadaveric heads using a see-through AR display, allowing the surgeon to plan and perform the craniotomy accordingly. Postprocedure CT scans were acquired to assess the accuracy of the retrosigmoid craniotomies with respect to their intended location relative to the dural sinuses. The two surgeons had a mean margin of davg = 0.6 ± 4.7 mm and davg = 3.7 ± 2.3 mm between the osteotomy border and the dural sinuses over all their cases, respectively, and only positive margins for 12 of the 14 cases. The intended surgical approach to the internal auditory canal was successfully achieved in all cases using the proposed method, and the relatively small and consistent margins suggest that our system has the potential to be a valuable tool to facilitate planning a variety of similar skull-base procedures.
