Advances in Cranial Navigation

چکیده
The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy and applicability of an advanced cranial navigation setup. Therefore, continuous electromagnetic instrument navigation was employed in 136 neurosurgical cases using a standard navig ation system. A phantom head in an intraoperative MRI environment was used to compare the accuracy of the advanced to the standard navigation setup. No significant difference was observed at the intracranial target points between the standard navigation setup using optic tracking, fiducial marker registration and pointer. Our data confirms that the application of preoperative imaging, surface-merge registration and continuous electromagnetic tip-tracked instrument navigation may provide a seamless integration of navigation systems into the neurosurgical operating workflow without significant reduction in accuracy compared to standard navigation.

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space
In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
