Abstract
Surgical procedures with navigation or robot system support usually require some pre-operative planning data. This data can be acquired by traditional imaging modalities like e.g. computed tomography (CT), the current gold standard due to its high precision. With such imaging data, access trajectories, implant positions, individual milling paths etc. can be computed. We present an ultrasound-based method to generate 3D image data which is equally suited for many interventions, but less costly than CT and real time. The method’s feasibility is demonstrated for robot-based implant bed milling in the lateral skull base.
