Robot and Computer Assisted Surgery

摘要

Surgical robots assisting surgeons during operations are being used in many medical fields. In this paper, the authors present a workflow for robot-assisted surgery, which includes the steps: image data acquisition, image processing, surgical planning and the actual robot assisted intraoperative transposition. Each step of the workflow comprises different computer aided methods and apparatuses, which are presented in this paper. The following part focuses on introduction about our surgical robot system for stereotactic neurosurgery and orthopaedic surgery. During operation, the surgeons can make the surgery planning on the model in the computer. Robot is used as a navigator to direct the surgery planning and as an instrument platform to assist surgeons to accomplish these operations. The results of the clinical application are given to show that our robotic system is effective.
