  • Patent number: 10327788
    Abstract: There are provided a surgical jig (24) which is directly used during surgery to make it possible to accurately recognize a position where a recess (44, 46) is to be formed in the surface of a surgical target bone (14) of a patient; and a verification jig (34) which is directly used during surgery to make it possible to precisely verify whether or not the recess (44, 46) formed in the surface of the surgical targeted bone (14) of the patient is of a required shape. The surgical jig (24) has an inner surface (26) matching the surface shape of the surgical target bone (14) of the patient, and a penetrating opening (30, 32) formed in correspondence with a site where the recess (44, 46) is to be formed. The verification jig (34) has a protrusion (40, 42) protruding from an inner surface (36) thereof in correspondence with the recess (44, 46) to be formed.

  • Patent number: 9105092
    Abstract: In order for registration of images for surgery, first, a three-dimensional reference image of a surgical area of a patient before surgery is acquired. Then, a grating-pattern light is provided towards the surgical area to acquire a first measurement image. Thereafter, a preliminary registration is performed between the acquired first measurement image and a pre-acquired three-dimensional reference image. Then, a grating-pattern light is provided towards the surgical area after cutting out the surgical area to acquire a second measurement image. Thereafter, a fine registration is performed between the acquired second measurement image and the pre-acquired three-dimensional reference image based on the preliminary registration result. Thus, an accurate registration result may be acquired at low cost in a short period of time.

  • Publication number: 20140096369
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a registration template for use in medical navigation system-guided surgery, comprising: producing a registration template having a surface, which precisely surface-bonds to a surface of a bone at a surgical target site of a patient, and having three or more registration points, from stereoscopic surface data ensuring precise surface bonding to the surface of the bone at the surgical target site of the patient, based on stereoscopic surface data created from tomography information on the bone of the surgical target site of the patient; and providing a pedestal (4) for mounting optical tracking balls (7), which are used for three-dimensional position detection for a medical navigation system, at the center of the registration points.

  • Publication number: 20090273705
    Abstract: In a television broadcast display apparatus, a mobile device is configured so that images can be displayed on a second screen when audio signals are outputted from the mobile device. A control unit switches between television output status and mobile device output status according to a user operation inputted to a remote-control transmitter. The mobile device output status is a state where audio corresponding to the audio signals received from the mobile device attached is output from speakers. A mobile device holder supports the attached mobile device detachably in such a position that when a user views from an expected viewpoint where a first screen is visible, the second screen is also visible, and the second screen is located adjacent to the first screen.
