Abstract: A surgical instrument system (1) for treatment of an anatomical structure (3, 5) comprises an instrument (8) and/or a patient specific instrument (2, 4) for performing the treatment on the anatomical structure. The instrument (8) and/or the patient specific instrument (2, 4) comprises an integrated measurement system (20, 40, 80) for tracking the instrument (8) and/or the patient specific instrument (2, 4) relative to the anatomical structure (3, 5), whereby the integrated measurement system comprises a tracking system (6, 10), which comprises a shadow imaging tracking system.

Abstract: A mobile surgical tracking system comprises a mobile surgical tracking device comprising an integrated fiducial marker and an imaging device. The imaging device is configured to generate an image of a patient's anatomical structure. The mobile surgical tracking system comprises a tracking system coordinate frame. The integrated fiducial marker has a position which has a known relation to the tracking system coordinate frame for the direct registration of the image to the coordinate system of the mobile surgical tracking device.

Abstract: A surgical instrument system for treatment of an anatomical structure comprises an instrument and/or a patient specific instrument. The instrument and/or the patient specific instrument comprises an integrated measurement system for tracking the instrument and/or the patient specific instrument relative to the anatomical structure. The integrated measurement system comprises a tracking system, which comprises a shadow imaging tracking system comprising an optical source, a shadow-generating device and a patient specific instrument sensor. An initial position of the instrument or the patient specific instrument is registerable by the patient specific instrument sensor. The shadow-generating device is arranged between the optical source and the imaging device for generating a shadow. The shadow imaging tracking system is configured to compute the elevation of the source from the pattern the shadow casts on the surface of the imaging device.

Abstract: An augmented reality surgical guidance system includes an augmented reality device and a plurality of mobile surgical tracking devices, including at least a first mobile surgical tracking device and a second mobile surgical tracking device, wherein at least one of the first or second mobile surgical tracking devices is connected to an object. The first mobile surgical tracking device includes a marker, a sensor and a control unit. The sensor of the first mobile surgical tracking device is configured to track the position of the second mobile surgical tracking device or the augmented reality device. The sensor is connected to the control unit to provide positional information data of the second mobile surgical tracking device to the control unit. The control unit includes a transmission unit configured to transmit the positional information data to the augmented reality device and the augmented reality device includes an imaging device and a display.
