  • Visualizing surgical trajectories
    Patent number: 8831307
    Abstract: A method is provided for visualizing a surgical trajectory (32, 101, 42, 46, 47). The method comprises steps of receiving (71) 3D imaging information (31) of a region to undergo surgery and combining (72) the received 3D imaging information (31) with data from a digitized anatomical atlas. As a result, a combined map of the region to undergo surgery is obtained. The combined map comprises expected positions of anatomical structures (102, 103, 104) in the region to undergo surgery. The method further comprises steps of receiving (73) the surgical trajectory (32, 101, 42, 46, 47) for the surgery, determining (74) positions of intersections (43, 44) of the surgical trajectory (32, 101, 42, 46, 47) with the anatomical structures (102, 103, 104) and providing (75) the positions of the intersections (43, 44) in a coordinate system aligned with the surgical trajectory (32, 101, 42, 46, 47).
