Abstract
The use of the C-arm fluoroscope for surgical navigation in various Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery Systems (CAOS) has been an important success of research into CAOS technology. To use the fluoroscope for quantitative surgical navigation involves calibrating its 2D images and tracking the spatial position of the fluoroscope’s image beam. This allows 3D reconstruction of anatomy from a series of 2D fluoroscopic images. This paper presents a new technique for determining the C-arm position and calibrating the image beam. This technique is based on a small imaging phantom that is placed close to the patient. This paper also briefly describes the CAOS system developed at Hull that uses this imaging phantom and reports on in vivo and in vitro studies.
