Abstract: A navigation, tracking and guiding system for the positioning of operatory instruments inside the body of a patient. The system includes a control unit, a viewer and detecting means for determining the spatial position of the viewer. The system further includes a sensor associated to an operatory instrument and insertable inside the internal portion of the body of the patient. The control unit is configured to project on the viewer an image of the state of the internal portion.

Abstract: The invention describes a system for producing a cranial operculum for a living being comprising: an acquisition device configured to define an area of planned removal of cranial bone on the skull of the living being; a first 3D detection device configured for 3D detection of the shape of the skull cap to be removed which is included in said area of planned removal of cranial bone; a second detection device configured to detect the points of the margin of the crater in the cranial bone after removal of the part of skull cap included in said area of planned removal; an electronic digital fabrication device configured to produce three-dimensional objects; a processing unit in data communication with said acquisition device, said first 3D detection device, said second detection device for detecting the points of the margin of the crater in the cranial bone and said electronic digital fabrication device, wherein said processing unit is configured to define a 3D digital model of the cranial operculum based on the

Abstract: A system for processing image data from computed tomography scans has: a first detection device capable of being activated prior to an antitumor treatment on a patient and configured to perform a standard computed tomography scan on the patient to obtain first image data; a second detection device capable of being activated intraoperatively at the end of the patient's antitumor treatment and configured to perform a cone-beam computed tomography scan to obtain second image data; a processing unit, in data communication with the first device and the second device and configured to process the first image data and the second image data, thereby providing a graphic comparison between a tumor mass prior to the antitumor treatment and a necrotic area after the antitumor treatment. A corresponding method for processing image data from computed tomography scans is also described.
