Abstract: A method and system to generate an operating room layout plan for a surgical procedure involving a patient and a trajectory of access. A patient model is positioned in a virtual coordinate space representing the operating room, and is rendered, along with the trajectory of access relative to the patient, on a display. The trajectory of access defines a zone of operation in the virtual coordinate space. The planning system receives selection of a navigation camera location in the virtual coordinate space; renders a navigation camera model visually indicating an operative field of view; determines whether the navigation camera has a direct line-of-sight to the zone of operation and, if not, indicates an error; and outputs the operating room layout plan based on the location of the models in the virtual coordinate space.

Abstract: A trajectory guidance alignment system configurable to receive input data from an image, interactively track at least one user position, interactively track a tool position, automatically generate output data by way of data transformation using at least one of the input data, the user position data, and the tool position data, and transmit the output data to the display of a navigation system for rendering a real-time interactive navigation view corresponding to a surgical view for facilitating navigation of a medical procedure.
