Development of Positioning and Navigation System Using for C-arm X-ray Apparatus for Minimally Invasive Surgeries

On account of the problem that traditional C-arm X-ray apparatus cannot provide precise route guidance for minimally invasive surgeries, we designed and developed a laser positioning and navigation system based on C-arm X-ray apparatus, which can achieve precise positioning function and reduce the exposure of doctors and patients to radiation in minimally invasive surgeries under the linear guidance of a laser beam. Furthermore, this system can enhance the refinement level of surgical operation in minimally invasive surgeries.
