SURGICAL PLANNING SYSTEM AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The present disclosure is directed to a planning and navigation system. The planning system includes a memory configured to store a plurality of images and a controller configured to render the plurality of images in three dimensions, automatically segment the plurality of images to demarcate a target area, and automatically determine a treatment plan based on the target area. The navigation system includes an ultrasound device having a fiducial pattern that obtains an ultrasound image, a surgical device having a image capture device that captures an image of the fiducial pattern, and a controller that receives the ultrasound image and the fiducial image. The controller determines a position of the surgical device based on the fiducial image. The planning and navigation system also includes a controller that receives data from the planning system and the navigation system and a display configured to display the received information.
1 - 17 . (canceled)
18 . A planning and navigation system, comprising:
a planning system including:
a memory configured to store a plurality of images; and
a first controller configured to render the plurality of images in three dimensions, segment the plurality of images to demarcate a target area, and automatically determine a treatment plan based on the target area; and
a navigation system including:
an electromagnetic field generator configured to generate an electromagnetic field;
a surgical device;
an image capture device configured to obtain an image of a target;
a display; and
a controller configured to cause the navigation system to:
generate the electromagnetic field;
detect a location of the surgical device in the electromagnetic field;
obtain the image of the target, the image defining a scan plane;
determine a spatial relationship between the surgical device and the scan plane; and
display a representation of the surgical device with respect to the target in the scan plane.
19 . The planning and navigation system of claim 18 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to display a position of the surgical device in relation to the scan plane.
20 . The planning and navigation system of claim 18 , wherein the spatial relationship between the surgical device and the scan plane defines a relative position and a relative angle of the surgical device to the scan plane.
21 . The planning and navigation system of claim 20 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to display a trajectory of the surgical device with respect to the image.
22 . The planning and navigation system of claim 21 , wherein the trajectory is determined based on the defined relative position and defined relative angle of the surgical device to the scan plane.
23 . The planning and navigation system of claim 18 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to display a virtual ablation zone.
24 . The planning and navigation system of claim 23 , wherein the controller is further configured to adjust an energy level to adjust the virtual ablation zone.
25 . The planning and navigation system of claim 23 , wherein the controller is further configured to adjust an ablation time setting to adjust the virtual ablation zone.
26 . The planning and navigation system of claim 18 , wherein the target is identified in a pre-operative image.
27 . The planning and navigation system of claim 26 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to determine calculated properties of the target upon identification of the target.
28 . The planning and navigation system of claim 27 , wherein the location of the target in the pre-operative image is recorded.
29 . The planning and navigation system of claim 28 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to identify the surgical device based on the calculated properties of the target.
30 . The navigation system of claim 29 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to determine power and time settings based on the calculated properties.
31 . The navigation system of claim 30 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the navigation system to display initial power and time settings.
32 . The planning and navigation system of claim 18 , wherein the image of the target is an ultrasound image.
33 . The planning and navigation system of claim 18 , wherein the image of the target is a CT image.
