  • Patent number: 5978696
    Abstract: A real-time positioning system monitors and displays a real-time position and orientation (pose) of a surgical device relative to reference device and internal structures of a subject during a medical procedure. Tracking targets are affixed to a surgical device and a reference device. The reference device is fixed to a target site of a subject. The tracked targets are interactively monitored by a tracking device and their raw positions are converted to a position and orientation (pose) of the surgical device and the reference device. A medical imaging device acquires images of internal structures of the subject which is converted into computer models by a modeling engine. The models of internal structures are correctly registered with models of the surgical instrument and the reference device into a single interactive representation assisting a surgeon in a medical procedure.
