Navigating on CT images

A CT image just at the plane of a surgical needle shows up, along with the tracked needle moves by a doctor's operation during a procedure in real time in 3D space.

The CT image can turn 360 degree along the needle axis. While the needle changes its position and direction, the corresponding CT image at the plane of the needle displays. Those CT images are from pre-acquired scan set. That is like a procedure guided by a real time Ultrasound system.

With Pari-Path surgical navigation, a "real time" CT image and a simulated needle can display in 3D space during a mini-invasive procedure for much better visual guidance.

	Pari-path surgical navigation	Other surgical navigation
Position accuracy	about 1~2 mm^* in a wide region	In a region close to sensor
Direction accuracy	about 0.5⁰~1⁰ ^* in a wide region	N/A
Needle	popular needle-liked instruments	special needles only
Sensor	reusable	expensive, disposal
Register method (mapping image with world space)	pari-path^TM method 1. accurate in a wide region 2. register accuracy <1 mm^* displayed on the screen 3. no need surgeons to handle markers just a mouse click	metal-markers method need to handle markers
Register method (mapping image with world space)		sensors as markers 1. good accuracy in a region near to sensors 2. poor accuracy in a region far from sensors 3. no need to handle markers
