Description
[0001] This application claims priority of the Chinese Patent Application No. 201811644912.7, filed on December 29, 2018, and entitled "SURGICAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical apparatuses, in particular to a surgical navigation system.
[0003] Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.
[0004] Puncture surgery is one of the common procedures in clinical surgery, and specific examples thereof include but are not limited to hematoma aspiration, cyst aspiration, edema aspiration, tissue biopsy, continuous administration, etc.
[0005] In traditional puncture surgery, a puncture needle is generally positioned by determining a position of a lesion based on a patient's CT image, and then a doctor roughly determines a puncture path based on the position of the lesion to perform puncture. For safety reasons, a CT scan is usually performed every lcm-2cm of needle insertion to correct a moving direction of the puncture needle. Therefore, throughout the surgical procedure, the patient needs to receive multiple CT scans, suffering from a relative great amount of radiation. With respect to this manner, the design of the puncture path relies heavily on the doctor's experience and judgment, and there is a risk of puncturing blood vessel and causing hemorrhage. For a small and deep lesion, there is a risk of a large error and failing to reach the lesion.
[0006] The surgical navigation system has brought great convenience to medical procedures since its advent, but there are still problems such as relying on an operator and poor accuracy.
[0007] It is an object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate one or more of the disadvantages of prior art, or at least to provide a useful alternative.
[0008] In view of this, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention proposes a surgical navigation system, which has advantages of rapid response, accurate navigation and positioning, simple operation, and a low price.
[0009] The present invention provides a surgical navigation system, including: a workstation, wherein the workstation includes a communication interface, a processor, a display device, and an input device, and wherein the communication interface is configured for communication connection, the processor contains pre-loaded software, the display device is configured to display an interface of the software, and the input device is configured to input a command from a user; and a spatial positioning module, wherein the spatial positioning module includes: a connection fixing device configured to fix a structure connected to a distal end of the connection fixing device; a position adjusting device including a base, a power structure, and at least two sets of moving assemblies, wherein each set of moving assemblies contains two components capable of moving relatively, and the power structure can prompt the two components to move relative to each other; a controlling device configured to regulate the power structure and carry out the communication connection; a guiding device containing a through hole, configured to guide a surgical instrument; and a position feedback device configured to calibrate a distance change caused by the power structure; and wherein, the position adjusting device is connected to the distal end of the connection fixing device, and the guiding device is hinged to the two sets of moving assemblies of the position adjusting device via a first connector and a second connector, respectively, the two sets of moving assemblies driving the first connector and the second connector to move in two dimensions relative to the base, and the position feedback device calibrating the distance change caused by the power structure, so that the guiding device connected with the first connector and the second connector reaches a desired position based on movements of the two sets of moving assemblies, and a position of a part of the spatial positioning module is detectable in medical imaging, thereby positioning the through hole of the guiding device in a three-dimensional space.
[0010] In the surgical navigation system of the present invention, the pre-loaded software in the processor may generate a 3D image based on existing medical image (such as CT and MRI) data, or receive and display a generated 3D image, and virtually display the guiding device and a movement path of the surgical instrument guided within the guiding device in a three-dimensional image. Blood vessels may be displayed in the three-dimensional image for reference by the user.
[0011] In the surgical navigation system of the present invention, the connection fixing device is any structure capable of fixing the position adjusting device relative to a patient, such as a universal arm, a bracket, and a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical connection structure. In an embodiment, the connection fixing device is a universal arm including at least one joint, preferably a universal arm including three or more joints. In a preferred embodiment, the universal arm includes a fastening structure, a supporting arm, a firstjoint, a first adjusting arm, a secondjoint, a second adjusting arm, a third joint, and a connecting arm. The fastening structure is connected to a wall, a stage, a hospital bed, etc., to support for and approximately position the spatial positioning module. The connecting arm is connected to the position adjusting device.
[0012] In a first aspect of the present invention, a position of a part of the spatial positioning module may be monitored in medical imaging. For example, a position and contour of the base, the guiding device or a part of the foregoing may be monitored in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray computed tomography (CT), or X-ray imaging. In an embodiment, the guiding device is a cylinder with a known size, when the guiding device together with the patient are medically imaged in a relatively fixed position, a contour and position of the guiding device may be displayed in the medical imaging, so as to calculate coordinates of the guiding device in the coordinate system of the three-dimensional image; and the position of the guiding device is adjusted based on the coordinates. In another embodiment, a part of the guiding device is made of a material whose position and contour may be clearly viewed in the medical imaging, such as two arc segments that are arranged in parallel and have different lengths. Based on this, the coordinates and spatial position of the guiding device can be calculated. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, such a structure may have various designs, as long as the position of the guiding device relative to a target site can be determined by the structure. The guiding device contains a through hole, and the through hole may have different inner diameters as required to cooperate with different surgical instruments.
[0013] In a second aspect, the surgical navigation system of the present invention further includes a positioning marker. There may be multiple options for the positioning marker, for example, a marker whose position may be monitored in the medical imaging, a marker whose position may be monitored by the tracking module, etc. Medical imaging methods include various existing suitable methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray computed tomography (CT), or X-ray imaging. The marker whose position can be monitored in the medical imaging may have a variety of different geometric shapes and materials, and may have a variety of mounting configurations, including being fixedly mounted or being detachably mounted. The number of the markers is not limited as long as the spatial position of the guiding device can be determined, and usually the number of the markers is three or more. For example, the marker may be mounted on the base, the guiding device, or a connector connected to the guiding device. In the case that the positioning marker is mounted on the base, since the spatial position of the guiding device needs to be calculated by the power structure, in order to ensure the accuracy of a distance change, a position feedback device is mounted to calibrate the change in the position caused by the power structure. In the case that the positioning marker is mounted on the guiding device, the positioning is the most direct. In the case that the positioning marker is mounted on the connector, since there are two connectors, it is necessary to determine each connector separately, and then to determine the spatial position of the guiding device by the positions of the connectors.
[0014] In the case that the surgical navigation system of the present invention includes a marker whose position can be monitored via a tracking module, the surgical navigation system further includes the tracking module. The tracking module may be an optical tracking module, an electromagnetic tracking module, and the like. In the case that the positioning marker of the surgical navigation system of the present invention is an optical positioning marker whose position can be detected by the optical tracking module, the surgical navigation system includes the optical positioning marker/a positioning fitting, an optical tracking module, and a reference mark. The optical positioning marker may be various markers that are optically recognized, such as commonly used infrared-reflecting spherical markers, patterns with corner points, as long as these markers can cooperate with the corresponding tracking module. The optical positioning marker may also be mounted on a rigid structure to form a positioning fitting, in which the optical positioning marker is arranged in a unique spatial distribution, and thus a unique coordinate system can be determined. In an embodiment, the positioning fitting is of a rigid structure equipped with four spherical optical positioning markers, and includes a taper portion and a body portion. The optical positioning marker may actively emit light or passively reflect light. During use, the taper portion of the positioning fitting is inserted into a through hole of a guiding catheter. The light emitted or reflected by the optical positioning marker is captured by a camera, and then a position of the positioning fitting can be determined by calculation; and thus, a spatial position of the guiding catheter and a spatial position of the through hole of the guiding catheter can be determined. The reference mark cooperates with the positioning fitting for coordinate system transformation. The reference mark is connected to a site to be operated, and a fixed positional relationship therebetween is maintained during a surgical procedure. For example, the reference mark may be connected to a patient's head by a head frame, a bone nail, etc., which has been mounted on a patient's skull. After a host of the present invention generates a three-dimensional image, calibration is performed taking the reference mark as a basic coordinate system, so that the positioning fitting and the guiding device can be virtually displayed in the three-dimensional image. If the position of the target site and the position of the reference mark change together during the surgical procedure, the relative position of the positioning fitting in the three-dimensional image may be re-determined based on the change of the reference mark, and is adjusted to a desired position as required. The tracking module has different structures dependent on the positioning marker used. For example, in the case that an electromagnetic positioning marker is used, the tracking module is an electromagnetic positioning device; in the case that a spherical light-reflecting marker is used, the tracking module contains a light-emitting and image-capturing unit; and in the case that a pattern with corner points is used as an optical positioning marker, the tracking module contains an image-capturing unit, preferably a binocular image-capturing unit.
[0015] In an example according to the second aspect, the tracking module includes: a movable baseplate, a bracket, and a light-emitting and image-capturing unit. The movable baseplate is equipped with wheels to be moved freely, and preferably, in one embodiment, the movable baseplate is equipped with four wheels and contains a stop structure. After the movable baseplate is moved to a desired position, the position of the movable baseplate may be prevented by the stop structure from being changed during the surgical procedure. The bracket consists of a pillar, a first bracket joint, a connecting rod, a second bracket joint, a first adjusting rod, a third bracket joint, and a second adjusting rod. The position (namely, the height and the angle) of the light-emitting and image-capturing unit can be adjusted by the bracket, so that a target area is within an optimum operating range of the light-emitting and image-capturing unit. The workstation includes: a workstation movable baseplate, a host, an input device, and a display. The workstation movable baseplate is equipped with wheels and a corresponding stop structure, and thus can move. When the workstation movable baseplate reaches a desired position, the workstation movable baseplate is fixed by the stop structure to prevent the position of the workstation movable baseplate from being changed during the surgical procedure. The host contains a processor and a communication interface. The processor may complete a three-dimensional reconstruction based on a medical image, receive information collected by the tracking module by the communication interface, generate a surgical plan, send an instruction to the spatial positioning module, virtually fuse a surgical tool matched with the spatial positioning module into the formed three-dimensional image, and display it to a user via the display. The input device is a keyboard, a mouse, or a voice input device.
[0016] In a third aspect, the surgical navigation system of the present invention also includes a tracking module and an ultrasound module. The tracking module at least includes an image acquiring device, such as a camera, preferably a binocular camera, a positioning marker (or a positioning fitting) and a reference marker, and further may include a light-emitting unit. The ultrasound module includes an ultrasound probe and an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. The ultrasound probe is mounted with a positioning marker. The positioning marker or a positioning fitting containing the positioning marker may be fixedly mounted or detachably connected to the ultrasound probe. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus may exist independently, or be integrated into the host of the surgical navigation system.
[0017] In an embodiment according to the third aspect, the surgical navigation system of the present invention includes a workstation, a spatial positioning module, a tracking module, and an ultrasound module. The workstation and the spatial positioning module are basically as described above. The tracking module includes a light-emitting unit, an image-capturing unit, a positioning fitting, and a reference mark. Each of the positioning fitting and the reference mark has several light-reflecting spherical positioning markers, and these markers have a unique structure design, so that the spatial positions of the positioning fitting and the reference mark can be uniquely determined. The positioning fitting may be independent, for example, the positioning fitting may include a taper portion and a body portion. The taper portion is configured to be detachably inserted into the through hole of the guiding device. The body portion contains several optical positioning markers, and the spatial position of the positioning fitting may be determined by reflecting light by these optical positioning markers. The positioning fitting may also be a part of the guiding device, and be integrated with the guiding device. The reference mark adopts the same optical positioning markers as those of the positioning fitting, and these markers also have a unique shape, so that the spatial position of the reference mark can be uniquely determined. During use, the reference mark has a definite relative position relationship with the site to be operated. For example, the reference mark is connected to the site to be operated by, for example, a bone nail, a head frame, etc., which has been fixed on the patient. A coordinate system of the tracking module is established based on the reference mark. The tracking module simultaneously tracks the positioning fitting, the reference mark and the ultrasound probe. The ultrasound probe uses a positioning fitting similar to the positioning fitting of the guiding device. The positioning fitting of the ultrasound probe may be integrated within the ultrasound probe, and also may be detachable, as long as the positioning fitting has a definite imaging position relationship with the ultrasound probe. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus transmits data scanned by the ultrasound probe to the workstation. The workstation subjects the ultrasound image to coordinate transformation by taking the reference mark as a reference and displays by the display device a virtual graphic of the guiding catheter in the ultrasound image. The workstation plans the position of the guiding catheter according to requirements, and sends an instruction to the spatial positioning module to enable the guiding catheter to move to a desired position and direction.
[0018] In another embodiment according to the third aspect, the surgical navigation system of the present invention includes a workstation, a spatial positioning module, a tracking module, and an ultrasound module. The workstation and the spatial positioning module are basically as described above. The tracking module only includes an image-capturing unit. The positioning fitting has several corner points, so that the spatial position of the positioning fitting can be uniquely determined by the image-capturing unit and the software loaded by the workstation. The ultrasound probe has the same positioning markers as those of the positioning fitting, namely corner points. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus transmits data scanned by the ultrasound probe to the workstation. The workstation, by taking the ultrasound probe as a reference, calibrates by the tracking module the position of the positioning fitting in the coordinate system of the positioning markers of the ultrasound probe, and then transforms a coordinate system of the positioning fitting and a coordinate system of the ultrasound image based on a fixed position relationship between the ultrasound probe and the positioning markers thereof. The workstation may virtually fuse the guiding catheter or the medical instrument with the ultrasound image, and display it on the display device.
[0019] In yet another embodiment according to the third aspect, the surgical navigation system of the present invention includes a workstation, a spatial positioning module, a tracking module, and an ultrasonic module. The tracking module is an electromagnetic tracking module. The ultrasonic module contains a magnetic positioning marker. The spatial positioning module contains a magnetic positioning marker. The electromagnetic tracking module contains a magnetic field generating device and a reference mark, and may simultaneously track positions of the spatial positioning module, the ultrasonic module, and the reference mark. The reference mark, when in use, is closely connected to skin near a site to be detected, and the electromagnetic tracking module tracks a change in the position of the reference mark for calibration to eliminate a tracking error caused by tissue displacement. The electromagnetic tracking module generates an electromagnetic field (a first signal), which is sensed by the magnetic positioning marker. The magnetic positioning marker generates a second signal in response to the first signal. The host then determines the positions of the spatial positioning module, the ultrasound module, and the reference mark based on the second signal.
[0020] The ultrasound image is subjected to coordinate transformation, and the virtual graphic of the guiding catheter is fused with the ultrasound image by the display device. The workstation plans the position of the guiding catheter according to requirements, and sends an instruction to the spatial positioning module to enable the guiding catheter to move to a desired position and direction.
[0021] In the surgical navigation system of the present invention, the power structure is a motor. Preferably, the motor is a non-magnetic motor, and may be used in a magnetic resonance environment. That is, the surgical navigation system of the present invention may cooperate with a magnetic resonance imager (MRI).

The objectives and other advantages of the present invention will be implemented and achieved through the structures specifically indicated in the description, claims and drawings.

The number of markers may be more than three. In another specific embodiment, the positioning markers 601, 602, and 603 are detachable and mounted before use via a connecting structure on the guiding catheter.
[0056] In another specific embodiment, with respect to the medical assistant robot of the present invention, positioning markers are mounted on the base 201 or on a fixed position relative to the base 201. Referring to FIG. 7, three positioning markers 601, 602, and 603 are shown. Since the mounting positions are known, a position of the base 201 can be determined by the positioning markers 601, 602, and 603 in the medical imaging, and an orientation and position of the guiding catheter 401 can be calculated based on a movement of the motor and the base 201 by the controlling module 300 or the host 700.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 15 for a use state, a taper portion 502 of the positioning fitting 500-3 is inserted into the through hole of the guiding catheter 401. By taking the reference mark 500-4 as a reference, a position of the guiding catheter 401 is calibrated by the positioning fitting 500-3, and the position of the guiding catheter 401 is displayed on a matched display. Based on the preoperative planning, the guiding catheter 401 is adjusted to a desired position, and then a surgical instrument such as an electric drill, a guide wire, an electrode, may be guided to pass through the through hole of the guiding catheter 401 to perform a surgical procedure.
[0069] Referring to FIG. 16, which describes a use plan of an embodiment according to the second aspect. Based on the patient's preoperative CT and MRI data, the workstation generates or receives a three-dimensional image, and the reference mark 500-4 is fixedly connected to the patient's site to be operated, for example, is connected to the head by a rigid structure, so that the relative position of the reference mark 500-4 with respect to the patient's site to be operated remains unchanged during the surgical procedure. By taking the reference mark 500-4 as a reference, the positioning fitting 500-3 is used for calibration by anatomical characteristic points or by characteristic structural points that are visible in the image and in the anatomy, a corresponding relationship between the established three-dimensional image and the site to be operated is acquired. Then, the positioning fitting 500-3 is inserted into the guiding device 400, and the movement of the spatial positioning module is controlled by the optical tracking module and the software, so that the guiding device 400 reaches a desired position.
[0070] Referring to FIG. 17, an embodiment of the surgical navigation system according to a third aspect of the present invention includes: a spatial positioning module, a tracking module, a workstation, and an ultrasound module.

The tracking module includes an image-capturing device, positioning fittings 500-3 and 500-5, and a reference mark 500-4. The ultrasound module includes a conventional ultrasound apparatus. The positioning fitting 500-5 is connected to an ultrasound probe of the ultrasound apparatus, and the position of the ultrasound probe in the coordinate system of the optical tracking module by taking the reference mark 500-4 as a reference may be determined by the positioning fitting 500-5. By a relative position relationship between the positioning fitting 500-5 and the ultrasound probe, the ultrasound image is subjected to a coordinate system transformation into a coordinate system taking the reference mark 500-4 as a reference. At the same time, the position of the positioning fitting 500-3 of the spatial positioning module is acquired. The positioning fitting 500-3 is displayed in the coordinate system of the image by virtue of the relative position relationship with respect to the reference mark 500-4, so as to obtain the positional relationship of the guiding device 400 in the ultrasound image. The ultrasound module may be an existing ultrasound apparatus, that is, an adapted positioning fitting 500-5 may be mounted onto the ultrasound probe.

The tracking module is an electromagnetic tracking module, and includes a magnetic field generating device and a reference mark. The reference mark contains a magnetic positioning marker. The spatial positioning module is connected to the magnetic positioning marker. The ultrasonic module is connected to the magnetic positioning marker. When in use, the magnetic field generating device is close to a site to be detected and generates an electromagnetic field (a first signal), and the magnetic positioning marker generates a second signal in response to the first signal, so that by taking the reference marker as a reference, a relative position relationship of the spatial positioning module and the ultrasonic module with respect to the reference marker can be established in the same coordinate system. Then, based on a spatial position relationship of the magnetic positioning marker with respect to the ultrasound probe, a coordinate system of the ultrasound image and a coordinate system of the electromagnetic tracking module are unified to realize the positioning of the guiding device 400 in the ultrasound image. The reference mark may preferably be attached to the skin of the site to be operated. When the site to be operated changes with breathing, the imaging may be adjusted based on the reference mark to avoid the influence on the positioning.
