  • REGISTRATION AND ALIGNMENT OF IMPLANTABLE SONIC WINDOWS
    Publication number: 20220361958
    Abstract: A medical device and a method of use thereof for frameless stereotaxy guided intracranial surgery. The medical device includes a central section made from a material that is transparent to ultrasound providing a sonic window, and an ultrasound reflective frame surrounding the central section. The method includes the steps of registering the ultrasound reflective frame with the frameless stereotaxy system for localization of the medical device during surgery. The medical device allows use of ultrasound imaging wherein the output of ultrasound imaging can be computationally combined with MRI or CT imaging data to compensate for anatomical changes in brain during surgery and enhanced localization and navigation to the surgery target.
