In neurosurgery and ear, nose and throat surgery the application of computerised navigation systems for guiding operations has been expanding rapidly. However, suitable models to train surgeons in using navigation systems are not yet available. We have developed a technique using an industrial, rapid prototyping process from which accurate spatial models of the cranium, its contents and pathology can be reproduced for teaching. We were able to register, validate and navigate using these models with common available navigation systems such as the Medtronic StealthStation S7®.
在神经外科和耳鼻喉科手术中,计算机导航系统在手术中的应用迅速扩大。然而,目前还没有合适的模型来培训外科医生使用导航系统。我们已经开发出一种使用工业快速成型工艺的技术,可以复制颅骨、其内容物和病理学的精确空间模型用于教学。我们能够使用常见的可用导航系统(如 Medtronic StealthStation S7®)对这些模型进行注册、验证和导航。
