  • Publication number: 20230190384
    Abstract: System and method for position and posture detection are provided to determine whether to update an original position and posture information of a surgical machine during surgery navigation. The system includes a sensing element, a displacement and/or angle sensing element and a processor. A coordinate signal of a marker module generated by the sensing element and a displacement and/or angle signal of the marker module generated by the displacement and/or angle sensing element are received by the processor and used to create a transformation matrix. A position and posture information of the surgical machine is obtained using the transformation matrix and the coordinate signal and provided to determine whether to update the original position and posture information.

  • Patent number: 11583363
    Abstract: A mechanism for holding surgical instruments includes a carrier mounted on a machine tool and multiple holding modules mounted on the carrier. At least one of the holding modules is selected to be used during surgical operation. A swing element of the selected holding module enables a guidance sleeve to be swung to allow a guidance hole on the guidance sleeve to face toward a surgical operation region. The guidance sleeve is provided to hold one surgical instrument for surgical operation.

  • Patent number: 10909773
    Abstract: A medical image modeling system and a medical image modeling method are provided. The medical image modeling system includes an input device, a processing device, and a storage device. The input device obtains medical image data. The processing device is coupled to the input device. The processing device converts the medical image data into a bone model in response to a first operational command. The storage device is coupled to the processing device. The storage device stores a model database. The processing device reads the model database in response to a second operational command to obtain a bone reconstruction block corresponding to a defect block of the bone model. The processing device integrates a bone reconstruction model depicted corresponding to the bone reconstruction block into the defect block of the bone model to generate an integrated bone model.

  • Publication number: 20180150992
    Abstract: A medical image modeling system including a processing device, a display device, and an input device is provided. The processing device is configured to execute an image processing module to generate three-dimensional bone model data based on medical image data of a biological bone tissue. The display device is configured to simultaneously display a medical image and a three-dimensional bone model in the same operation interface according to the medical image data and the three-dimensional bone model data. The input device is configured to receive a parameter instruction, so that the processing device edits the three-dimensional bone model according to the parameter instruction by the image processing module. A medical image modeling method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8821159
    Abstract: A dental implant guiding device is applied in guiding the drill of the drilling apparatus in different dimensions. The device includes a guiding module and a guiding seat. The guiding module contains at least one guiding unit where a sleeve with a cavity is disposed. A guiding hole and a guiding slot, where an opening at a fringe of the guiding unit is defined, are disposed at two sides of the sleeve. The guiding seat forms a first hole. At two sides of the first hole, a first guiding shank and a second guiding shank respectively corresponding to the guiding hole and the guiding slot are disposed. The second guiding shank slides into the guiding slot, which allows the first guiding shank inserting into the guiding hole for the drill to position at the center of the cavity of the sleeve, thereby achieving the fast positioning and friction reduction.
