Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed for displaying a path between a selected target and selected points on a patient's skull and for guiding surgical instruments along any selected path. The system is comprised of an image display system, an articulated arm and probe, and a stereotactic system. The sub-systems are coupled to one another so that the articulated probe may be used to select patient fiducial points that correspond to selected image fiducial points. Using these points, the image display system coregisters the external locations to the displayed images so that the probe condition may be displayed with the displayed images. The system further permits the identification of a selected target within a patient's brain and to project a path from the external position to the target prior to the performance of a craniotomy. After evaluation of the path, a surgeon may lock the stereotactic system in place to preserve a selected surgical path and to guide instruments along that path. A method of utilizing the system to perform such surgical procedures is also described.

Description

Be used for the apparatus and method that the three-dimensional planning process of neurosurgery is used
Technical field
The present invention relates in general to the neurosurgery device, and the three-dimensional planning system that relates more specifically in neurosurgery, use.
Background of invention
During the seventies, developed the radioactivity picture system and more at large understood fully patient's internal state to help the surgeon.Particularly developed computer-aided tomography radiography (CAT) system, it is in order to improve the picture quality that obtains according to the data that produce during patient's radioactive scanning.Patient is placed in the stand, and radioactive source and radiation detector are then staggered relatively mutually so that rotate around a part of patient body.The data that radiation detector produces are utilized radiographic image or " thin slice " to produce this body part by computer, thereby give doctor with the view in whole area-of-interest greatly clearly.
After a while, the radiograph imaging system also comprises nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) and positron radiation chromatography photograph (PET) imaging, and the energy that their produce image is not applying X-ray or analog.These devices are useful, because they provide different with the cat scan image or the additional information of relevant organ and cell tissue.In this application, the noun scanning device refers to imaging device, and irrelevant with the technology that is used to produce image.
Carry out neurosurgery and can study, repair or remove the pathology that is positioned at patient's brain.This operating environment is challenging, because the organ at interest place: brain, by thick relatively skeletal structure, skull, institute centers on.Concerning the surgeon, unique before the surgical operation can be the image that produces by imaging system near the method for brain.
Because inaccessiblility, the size of brain and be roughly the shape of hemisphere, in the brain locus of points determine require with reference to certain fixed external reference systems usually.For provide enough information to the surgeon to determine interesting areas on the image, such as tumor or infringement, developed various systems so that reference point or some reference points to be provided, they can be used for the structure that shows on patient's anatomical results and the image corresponding.These systems require have a framework to be firmly fixed at patient's head so that reference point or some reference points to be provided usually.In case reference configuration is connected with patient, view data is the fixed reference frame and producing according to relative imaging device just.Also promptly, there is mechanical connection between reference configuration and the imaging device here usually.Behind data collection, patient can remove from scanning device, but reference frame must still be connected on patient's head.Reference frame keep to connect in whole surgical procedures, like this, the surgeon can with about the image information of differences in patient and relative framework and localized, the intracranial position of patient is associated.
In some such systems, based on the data that the radioactive scanning device obtains, when providing the surprising ability in the zone at interest place in definite patient's brain for the surgeon, desired framework is then pretty troublesome, and makes obtaining of radioactivity data complicated.For keeping the position of reference frame, in whole scanning process and surgical procedures, it must keep being connected with patient head.Because reference frame can have several pound weights, and must be securely fixed on the head, they may be very uncomfortable to patient.The distance that framework people patient head is stretched out also becomes difficulty when handling patient.In addition, having the patient bigger than normal header usually can not be suitable with three-dimensional policy framework.
For uncomfortable to patient that the clumsiness that reduces reference frame and it cause, developed a kind of three-dimensional policy system, it uses a kind of skull ring that is mounted to patient's skull.This ring is a relatively little metal ring, adopts the porous screw to be installed in patient head.In case ring installs, the transfer plate with two holes is fixed in the ring, has a hole to have rotatable ball and the socket mechanism that is installed on wherein in two holes.Transfer plate also is provided with the labelling that lonizing radiation do not see through, and it can be discerned in the radiation image that scanning device produces.Patient is placed into to scanning device then, and a member that stretches out from ball and socket is connected with machine.In case patient is reserved in scanning device to collect view data, ball and socket are locked in fixed sensing.
Behind the image data collection, thrown off with the member that stretches out from the patient who is connected with scanning device from ring, like this, patient is removable.Ball and socket still are locked in its sensing, and like this, the sensing of the transfer ring on patient's skull can be duplicated afterwards so that determine target.
After the transfer plate of clamping ball and socket was removed in the skull ring that is mounted to patient head, this plate was connected to a member that stretches out on the framework platform, to duplicate its position and sensing on patient head.Check the image that scanning device produces, determine selected target, such as infringement or tumor, and the radiolabeled coordinate data of transfer plate.Use this coordinate data and the sign that is marked on the framework platform, handle the target label on the framework platform, thus the radiolabeled relatively target location of identification.Second ball and socket mechanism are placed in second hole of transfer plate.After this, so can stretch to distance and the path of impact point by second ball and socket to be determined to target such as the apparatus of vivisection probe.Then that the locking of second ball and socket is on the throne being retained to the sensing of target, then be marked on the probe to the distance of target.
Can remove from the member on being arranged in the framework platform so supporting the transfer plate of second ball and socket mechanism, and reinstall on the skull ring on patient's skull, and with blocked second ball and socket to be determined to the path of selected target.After this, can use vivisection probe mark patient skull, and on this aspect, carry out the craniotomy operation on patient's skull so that a hole is provided.So the vivisection probe can extend the degree of depth of labelling on the probe by the hole in second ball and the socket, so that the vivisection probe is placed within infringement or the swollen disease.Use this method, the surgeon can accurately place live body and resolve probe, and need not search positioning tumor or infringement before carrying out vivisection.Further specifying of above-mentioned technology and device sees U.S. Patent number 4805615 and 4955891 (U.S.Patent Nos.4805615 and 4955891), to its reference in addition.
Above-mentionedly carry out the collection that vivisectional method has been quickened view data in many aspects.At first, to compare with previously used reference frame be little to the reference configuration that is installed on patient's skull.Secondly, the removable plate that has ball and a socket aperture can make the target area before carrying out the craniotomy operation in patient's brain accurate location.The 3rd, the removable plate with ball and socket mechanism guarantees that plate correctly is placed on patient's skull, and remains on the framework platform accuracy of determining to the path of target.Though this method has been quickened determining of brain region of interest within greatly, it can not be for the surgeon provides the information of closing the intermediary cell tissue zone between the craniotomy hole and target area on the skull, and it is positioned at brain, and may be positioned at brain dearly.In addition, the position in the hole of the ball of reference rings and socket is not necessarily crossed in the sensing of the view data that scanning device produces, thereby can not provide between craniotomy hole and the target area view data on the different depth to help the surgeon path to target to be estimated.Like this, when the surgeon need not search for localizing objects, the surgeon needed to regain brain cell tissue along the path that arrives target carefully really.Not so, might damage some sensitizing ranges of stretching along this path.Above-mentioned reference system can not help the surgeon to determine the strict position of some sensitizing ranges like this before the craniotomy operation, and crossed the path to target.
The track of infringement or damage, minimum in determining brain in order to reduce to the infringement of intermediary's cell tissue, determine that it usually is crucial that suitable path arrives track by brain.Like this, determine the path of reaching the spot almost with determine on-the-spot the same key itself.Said system is unfavorable in this respect.
For view data being provided and placing joining of more automatization between the patient of operation, developed the system that carries out " registration mutually ".Mutually registration is a process, computer by it will be related with view data datum mark and the datum mark that is associated with patient body match.Usually, image-based is selected by using mouse and cursor, so that the point on identification patient skin on the display image.Articulated jib and probe are connected to computer so that the coordinate data of computer external point to be provided.User is used this arm and probe, selected element on one's body patient, their corresponding selected image-based on schedule, and computer is carried out respective point is carried out paired program.After selected enough counting (being at least 8 points usually), computer can be identified on the display image, and correspondence is pressed close to the point of the probe location of patient head.Such system is by the Massachusetts, thunder buchu Nie Ces Co.,Ltd of Brooklyn (Radionies o Brookline Masschusetts) makes, and with its product name " motion arm " labelling.
Such system provides " navigation " information to the surgeon, and also, the surgeon can be put probe to patient's head or the ad-hoc location in patient's head, and discerns this position on display image.By this method, the surgeon can be on display image the inspection area, and determine their nearness to probe location.Therefore, the surgeon can believe firmly to the correctness of the surgical operation approach of target.
Though these systems provide compellent navigation information, they still can not project the image of stable surgical approach on the radiation image that shows before the craniotomy operation is carried out.Stable path can not be throwed by such system, is because when at every turn needing to check the path, and the surgeon is can not be with probe directed consistently and be stabilized in strict same position.As a result, because probe is by hand, the path that such system can not confirm or indication passes to target enduringly.In addition, such system can not guarantee that the surgeon can advance along any paths that the surgeon selects according to the radiation image check result that shows.
The system that needs be so that the surgeon can carry out the path that the craniotomy operation is selected before carrying out, estimation passes to selected target, and this Route Locking is on the throne.The system that needs be can the craniotomy intra-operative and this operation afterwards the guided surgery doctor pass to target along the surgical approach of estimating.The method that needs is after the path is estimated, selects and keeps some the selected paths that pass to a plurality of targets.

Be scanned after device produces in series, it can by deeply to magnetic medium to be transported to system 10.Usually, view data is written in the 9 magnetic track tapes 74, and it can be read by 9 magnetic track magnetic tape readers 40.User can drive computer 30, and drives 9 magnetic track tape interface programs in I/O (I/O) program library.By adopting this program, user can read in view data to computer 30 from 9 magnetic track tapes 74, and computer is stored data to hard disk drive or analog by appropriate format then.Computer 30 also can be accepted data from image analyzer by DAT reader, floppy disk, computer network or analog.
Be read into to computer storage in view data, the user executable program, it is with the display window of image radiation data show in monitor 32.By card crash touch the view icon of screen shown in Figure 2 for one (20, user can be selected particular figure.This action produces the display menu of various series or view, and user can be selected thus.After a selected series, first image of this series or thin slice are shown in the display window 122 just as shown in Figure 2.User can make slippage device 124 buttons on the mouse-based operation screen, watches the every width of cloth image in the series.
User can be chosen in the second series that second display window 126 shows.By card crash touch second window one view icon 128, set up second display window after, user can select to be shown in the particular series of this window, and similarly by making mouse-based operation slippage device button 130 watch different thin slices.
Computer 30 also can produce the second series that scanning device does not have generation.The generation of computer 30 these processes is to carry out interpolation of data by one of series that scanning device is produced to produce second series.For example, crown series can be produced by scanning device, and is shown in first display window of system.Show sagitta of arc series if user is chosen in second window, and it is not scanned the device generation, then system carries out interpolation with the data of every crown image right hand edge, produces sagitta of arc view by these data.This process repeats the parallel image of the same intervals in the crown perspective view, to set up second sagitta of arc series.
In most preferred embodiment, Ah taking off Lars (Atlas) program is scanned the view data reformatting data of the stereo-picture in zone with the generation expression.This is by the view data of single sheet is carried out interpolation, carries out to produce additional " thin slice " that scanning device do not obtained.This is preferably undertaken by producing so-called " Voxel " value, and these value representatives are cubical image value on yardstick, though other three-dimensional shape also can be used.For example, if series is the thin slice by expression 3mm, on behalf of the image of 0.5mm * 0.5mm, each pixel form, and the Voxels that then is interpolated preferably represents the cube of a 1mm * 1mm * 1mm.For interpolation is used for the Voxel value of plane of delineation Voxel, each combination that forms foursquare four adjacent pixels is averaged, the average result composition data of gained is to be formed on the Voxels in 1mm * 1mm * 1mm plane picture.Be positioned at the planar Voxels of the 2mm and the 3mm degree of depth for representative, the Voxel image in the face is preferably used and is combined to the proportional linear weight of the distance of datum plane 4mm planar the underlie plane of delineation (datum plane) lower with being positioned at the next one from selected plane.Certainly, as knowing in present technique, other interpolation scheme also can be used.After interpolative data produced, Ah taking off Lars (Atlas) used these data to produce any series of user requirement.
In case display window or window are set up, and show suitable image sequence in those windows, user just can be selected the graphic based point.This be by with mouse image-based shown in Figure 2 on schedule in the evaluator menu on the appropriate area card crash touch for one and to carry out.After one of in the activation graph picture point icon, user can be used Mus and show that 34 handle a reticule cursor and cross image, with its in alignment with special characteristic point after, card on the mouse button crash touch for one to cause performing a programme on computer 30, with point on the image and the match of selected picture point diagram.User can be right, for example says, 8 points carry out this program, though in the system according to principle of the present invention, fewer or many nodes also can be realized.But before registration produces mutually, need 3 points at least, and best, adopt about 8 to 10 points, then can obtain best mutual registration.
Mounting sleeve 52, substrate frame 50 and articulated jib and probe 18 are mounted on the skull clip 46 of clamping patient head.Skull clip 46 is the Ohio preferably, and Ohio Medical Instruments of Cincinnati (Ohio Medical Instrumant CO., Inc.of Cincinnati, Ohio) the skull clip of Sheng Chaning, and be marked as " MAYFIELD " clip of correction.Clip comprises the arm of ratchet 146 that is installed in the sleeve arm 148, also comprises the two dowel fixes folder (not shown) that is installed on the sleeve arm, and torque screw and pin 150 are installed on the arm of ratchet 146.By the process of knowing, regulate the head of clip with adaptive patient.
Being arranged on the sleeve arm is fixed star blast shape adapter 54, and mounting sleeve 52 is mounted thereon.The substrate frame 50 that is used for articulated jib and probe 18 is connected to mounting sleeve 52 by allene screw or analog, and articulated jib and probe 18 then are connected on the substrate frame 50 as previously mentioned.User must be placed to articulated jib the optical encoder that makes all side direction install and be positioned on the same side of each arm part.If arm is placed on the wrong position, then computer 30 and encoder interfaces 20 drill translate with articulated jib angle data apart, be positioned at the direction opposite as it, and show the position of probe improperly with its real motion.In case this arm is positioned at suitable position, probe 24 is placed in the tubulose extension rod 58 of substrate frame with the initialization of preparing probe (press among Fig. 1 shown in the pecked line).
By card crash touch probe initialization diagram 154 (Fig. 2) for one, user gets so that computer 30 begins to receive and articulated jib and probe 18 angle data input apart, and with the position of probe in extension rod 58 as datum mark and initialization.Show partly that in the bottom left of monitor 32 screens a viewing area 156 is arranged, it shows the position at the tip of each arm portion and probe 24.By probe 24 is withdrawn from tubulose extension rod 58, user can be handled articulated jib and probe tip in the space, and observes its motion on screen.Use this method, user can check optical encoder 22 whether to be in correct position, for example, and when moving up, with examining moving upward of probe by being in vertical position when probe.If the direction of motion of the probe that shows is opposite with the direction of probe tip real motion, user just knows that the initialization of arm is incorrect, should make articulated jib be in the appropriate location, repeats initialization.
After be sure oing that probe is suitably initialization, so user can be placed on probe tip the external point of patient's skull, they corresponding to previous selected image-based on schedule.Usually, these points comprise the bridge of the nose with the centrally aligned of eye socket or analog.Its way is, user at first block crash touch the selector button of contiguous patient point icon 158 for one, probe 24 is positioned on the point of patient's skull then, the image-based of patient's spot correlation connection that its correspondence one is activated on schedule.By forcing down pedal 36, patient's datum mark coordinate of being demarcated by probe location just joins with the patient's spot correlation that is activated.The reader it should be noted that the selection of patient's datum mark can be prior to image-based selection on schedule.
User choose at least three patients and image-based on schedule after, computer 30 beginning performing a programmes are so that with radiation image data and the mutual registration of selected patient's datum mark.For carrying out mutual registration, program is preferably carried out iterative algorithm.The screen of monitor 32 (Fig. 2) is provided with indicator window 160, so that the information of the quality of mutual registration between relevant radiation data and the selected patient's datum mark is provided to user.Usually, mutually registration is counted and is improved with selected, roughly counts goodish mutual registration between patient and the view data normally can be provided for 8 to 10.
Registration is preferably finished on one of program module of carrying out on the computer 30 by iterative algorithm mutually.Best algorithm is selected one group of image datum mark and corresponding patient's datum mark.Calculate the centre of form by each selected group how much charts determining.Then the coordinate transformation of one of centre of form is become the coordinate of second centre of form, and the point that is associated with first centre of form is converted too.To convert in first group and the coordinate difference of the point that converts is carried out power to determine total error amount or quality factor.Only change an increment then, calculate in first class mid point and second group poor between their respective point at the direction point that will be converted, and in addition square.If error result is less than quality factor, so the value that is increased becomes the point value in first group, and error result becomes new quality factor.
Carry out increment at equidirectional again and change, and calculate new error result.When error result during greater than current quality factor, the point that is converted is just thought best match.
Calculate and the change of valuation increment at other direction now.The increment on second direction change be performed until error result greater than quality factor till, and the previous point that converted just is considered to best match.So carrying out increment, direction formerly changes, till error result is greater than current quality factor.Again second direction test increment is changed.This process proceeds to conversion in any direction and does not produce till the error result less than current quality factor.When this takes place, carry out increment change and test according to foregoing such error of calculation result and quality factor in the 3rd direction.When changing the error result that does not produce greater than current quality factor at the increment of either direction, registration is finished mutually, in group a bit can realize the conversion of respective point to second group.
Sometimes, patient's datum mark is not accurately corresponding with selected point in the view data, thereby may reduce the calculating of mutual registration.By resetting corresponding " application " icon, cancel such point, can improve the calculating of mutual registration.Computer 30 makes user be able to activate and to cancel some points selectively, provides the optimal registration between patient and the view data to determine those points.The reader it should be noted that mutual registration improves along with increasing of datum mark number, yet action is to reselect one of image or patient's datum mark preferably, like this its corresponding preferably its counter pair.
User can or before mutual registration, or after it select target.This is to activate and on monitors 32 screens target icon 162 is set by using mouse 34, and uses mouse the interior zone that the cursor reticule moves to the patient's head that shows in the image is accomplished.Usually, interesting areas may be tumor, infringement, suspicious moving point, and the surgeon wishes to be that it places degree of depth electrode, or one in order to implant the zone of the radioactivity " seed " that the radioactivity surgery uses.The coordinate of target by card crash touch for one and target icon 162 to be set to set up.
After registration and target selection are finished mutually, user can be placed on probe 24 any position (as long as this zone is the part in scanner scans zone) on patient's skull, and the path from this point (arrow 172 expressions) to target (with reticule 174 expressions) obtains showing.The shown path to target shows preferably whether this path is present in really on this image sheet that shows constantly.To each position, be shown in the lower right corner of display window (Fig. 2) between probe location and the selected target along the distance that is shown the path.For example, the surgeon can be placed on probe on the point that is shown on the image sheet that just is being shown at present.But the surgeon also can be held in Probe clip such orientation, so that one or more thin slices will be crossed in the path from this probe 24 to target before arriving target.In this situation, be present in the most handy yellow expression in zone on the thin slice that just is being shown really, and the most handy red expression of the remainder in the path of the target that arrives (Fig. 2).Use mouse 34 and handle slippage device button 130, the surgeon can watch each part of destination path in suitable image sheet, until reaching the cell tissue of target to estimate that selected path is crossed.If the surgeon determines this path and has risk, is unacceptable, then the surgeon can select different sensings or different points on patient's skull, and reexamines the path.
By selecting view " to cross probe ", a series just is illustrated in second display window, and the slippage device button 130 that it can adopt mouse 34 to move this display window is handled.Use this method, the planar image that crosses probe 24 is showed to the target area from probe 24.Like this, the surgeon can estimate the path that reaches target by patient's brain cell tissue.
In case the selected particular path to selected target of surgeon, skull ring 80 can be mounted on patient's head, and transfer plate 82 is installed on the skull ring 80.Transfer plate 82 comprises probe alignment ball 86, and probe 24 can be positioned over wherein.After probe 24 was placed in the ball 86, it was removable so that select to the target area again, be the path of the best by surgeon's suggestion.When probe 24 was held on this position, ball 86 lockables were on the throne being determined to the path of target, and probe is removed.Preferably adopt the device that is shown in Fig. 3 to be attached on patient's head to avoid skull ring 80.
The most handy can disinfectant second substrate frame 50 and probe 24 replace being used for that datum mark is confirmed and the substrate frame and the probe of registration mutually.Can the disinfectant substrate frame and probe preferably make by the Lycoperdon polymorphum Vitt anodized aluminum, and disinfectant is not made by black anodizing aluminum.Sterilizable tubulose extension rod 58 and probe 24 preferably be shorter than its not the disinfectant congener to quicken sterilization.Yet the mounting sleeve 70 of probe 24 will be connected with the probe erection column bolt that the hinge of outermost stretches out on the second position from articulated jib, to guarantee that the reference point that is used for mutual registration can not disturbed.
After the sterile surgical operation curtain with holes with is positioned on the sleeve pipe 52, the disinfectant substrate frame is mounted on the pipe box 52.Before being mounted to articulated jib and probe 18 on the substrate frame 50, a sterile pipe shape curtain is placed on arm and the erection column bolt 62.Then probe mounting sleeve 70 is placed on the pipe shape curtain so that fix sterilizable probe 24 on the throne.Then probe is back to extension rod 58, the user card crash touch Lycoperdon polymorphum Vitt probe icon 176 (Fig. 2) one, like this, Ah taking off Lars (Atlas) the program length of probe 24 is relatively mated.The thickness of surgical operation curtain is offseted in the mechanism of sterilization part.Also promptly, the hole of mounting sleeve is suitably strengthened with the surgical operation curtain between payment mounting column and the sleeve pipe.Require this payment be in order to ensure, be used for the screw that probe is secured on the post can not removed probe tip from the centrage of post.Then the user card crash touch probe initialization icon 154 to check moving of arm one.Use previous selected datum mark, registration is an automatization mutually.
On this aspect, the surgeon can use the skull that suitable drill bit is opened patient, and the apparatus sleeve pipe is inserted in the transfer plate 82.Then, the surgeon can with, for example, biopsy needle directly is inserted into target by the indicated degree of depth, and confidence that can be suitable, biopsy needle is in the target area, and only is passed in the cell tissue of checking in the image that display window shows.After this process, surgeon's closable opening or the target area further handled.Equally, the surgeon can select other purpose, and as handling first they is handled.
At the skull hone lamella of installing 80, and with the locking of plate 82 on the throne after, the surgeon can determine to adorn an arc plate stem 100 so that a hemispherical apparatus navigation system to be provided, it is around the target area and centring.Its way is, arc plate stem 100 is mounted on the ball 86, rotating support arm 102 is mounted on the bar 100, and arc 104 is connected with supporting arm 102.Then variable component 106 is mounted on the arc 104 distaff 100 rotating support arms 102, supporting arm 102 slippage arcs 104 relatively; Perhaps move variable component 106, just can select any position around hemisphere along arc 104.On any such point, the surgeon is can be quite self-confident, the point that he the is provided with regional center that aims at the mark.
