  • Publication number: 20080183074
    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated surgical navigational and neuromonitoring system. The integrated system provides real-time visualization of an instrument relative to a visualization of patient anatomy. The integrated system also acquires and incorporates neuromonitoring information into the visualization of the patient anatomy. The integrated system is further capable of integrating neurodiagnostic information, such as nerve conduction information, with anatomical and instrument position information to evaluate changes in neural integrity and develop treatment strategies.

  • Publication number: 20080183068
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an apparatus for simultaneously displaying surgical navigational information and neuromonitoring information. The apparatus includes a video display terminal configured to display a visualization of anatomical structures of a patient and a computer operatively linked to the video display terminal. The computer is programmed to acquire neurological response information from the patient and automatically update the visualization of anatomical structures based on the acquired neurological response information.
