Description

Bone needle position tracking device based on optical and electromagnetic positioning and Kalman filtering
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of surgical navigation, and particularly relates to tracking of needle tip positions of bone needles.
Background
Pelvic fractures are a serious high-energy injury, with the highest disability and mortality among all fractures. Therefore, the pelvis resetting robot has larger resetting force and more complex resetting path, which also has influence on the precision of the navigation system, and the probability of the surgical instrument being shielded in the surgical process is high, and the traditional surgical navigation optical positioning method is difficult to meet the requirement of being not shielded.
Since the pelvis has a complex anatomical structure and is located deep in the human body, the pelvis is difficult to reveal in the operation, and the fracture type is complex and various, so the pelvis fracture operation is one of the operations with the highest difficulty in the orthopaedics field, and is called as an expert operation in the orthopaedics field. In recent years, along with the development of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, the introduction of a navigation system can improve positioning accuracy, reduce shaking of surgical instruments, and help surgeons to finish surgery accurately to the greatest extent. Surgical navigation enables a surgeon to visualize internal structures of a patient's body in real-time during a surgical procedure. During surgery, the surgeon may use the map created by the navigation system to more reasonably plan the reduction path, thereby ensuring greater accuracy and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue. The navigation system may also provide real-time feedback of the position and motion of the instrument during the surgical procedure. Therefore, constructing a precise pelvic fracture reduction surgical navigation system is important for the pelvic reduction robot.
In consideration of different surgical environment requirements, the navigation system can select different positioning methods, and the positioning methods of the current surgical navigation system mainly comprise optical positioning, electromagnetic positioning, ultrasonic positioning, image positioning and the like. A navigation robot system based on computer-tomography (CT) is developed by Johns Hopkins university, HIT-RAOS for robot assisted surgery by X-ray image is developed by the university of Harbin Industrial robot research institute, germany, and a navigation system based on an optical tracking system is developed.
To date, optical and electromagnetic tracking systems represent two major technologies integrated into surgical navigation systems for computer-aided image guided surgery. The optical tracking system has high precision and robustness to the environment, but a direct line-of-sight range between an optical target point and a camera is required; electromagnetic tracking systems do not need to take into account whether there is a line of sight occlusion between the sensor and an external reference, but the presence of ferromagnetic sources in space can have a significant impact on the measurement results. Therefore, a single positioning method always has unavoidable defects, so that some students adopt a method of fusing multiple sensors to improve navigation accuracy. Xinyang Liu, and the like, by a sensor fusion mode, a novel method for tracking a laparoscopic ultrasonic transducer in laparoscopic surgery is developed by combining an electromagnetic tracking technology and a computer vision-based (e.g. ArUco) tracking method, and the accuracy of the obtained sensing tracking data is better than that of the single electromagnetic generator; chao Shi et al developed a novel robot system for reduction of pelvic fracture, and realized real-time 3D navigation technique of pelvic position through fusion of optical tracking technique and non-rigid registration algorithm; zhicheng Yang et al propose a method for fusing optical tracking data and gyroscope sensing data by using kalman filtering, so that the direction of the gyroscope is estimated and supplemented by using the gyroscope, and tracking precision can be well improved by carrying out data fusion by using kalman filtering; YONGDE ZHANG et al propose to fuse the inertial navigation and electromagnetic navigation data by using kalman filtering, so as to realize a more accurate tracking technology of organ motion in operation.
Compared with the long bone reduction operation, the axial movement is only needed, the path of the pelvic bone needle reduction operation is more complex, the reduction force is more increased, if the traditional optical navigation target is arranged at the root of the reduction bone needle for optical navigation, in the reduction process, the optical target is blocked and the tracking target is lost due to the complex path, so that the navigation system is invalid. And because the restoring force is large, the bone needle can be deformed greatly, so that the optical target at the tail end of the bone needle can not truly reflect the pose of the bone block.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.
The embodiment provides a 3D operation navigation system integrating optical positioning information and electromagnetic positioning information, in particular to a bone needle position tracking device based on optical and electromagnetic positioning and Kalman filtering.
As shown in FIG. 1, the bone needle is made of 304 stainless steel, has a total length of 400mm and an outer diameter of 6mm, and is divided into an upper section and a lower section. The upper section length is 365mm, a through hole with the inner diameter of 2.5mm is processed, the lower section is a bone needle drill, and the middle is connected by a threaded column with the diameter of 3 mm. The electromagnetic target point 2 of the 6-degree-of-freedom electromagnetic sensor is packaged in a heat-shrinkable tube with the outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the bone needle through hole, and then the heat-shrinkable tube is inserted from the tail end of the bone needle to the tip of the bone needle, so that the position error of needle point position tracking caused by bone needle deformation is reduced. The optical targets of the 6-degree-of-freedom optical sensors are divided into two groups, the first group of optical targets 1 are fastened at the tail ends of the bone spicules through the connecting pieces, so that the bone spicules integrate the electromagnetic targets 2 and the first group of optical targets 1, and position tracking information of the two sensors can be acquired simultaneously. A second set of optical targets 5 of the 6-degree-of-freedom optical sensor is arranged on the electromagnetic tracking device 4.
The tracking error of the sensor is an important component of the error of the whole navigation system, and the positioning data error of the optical target point is related to the gesture of the optical tracking device 3. In order to explore the pose of the first set of optical targets 1 when the positioning data errors are minimal, the first set of optical targets 1 is fixed using an XYR triaxial displacement rotary platform. The first group of optical targets 1 are rotated at intervals of 5 degrees, and the positioning errors of the first group of optical targets 1 are recorded. The magnitude of the electromagnetic positioning error is influenced by the distance between the electromagnetic target 2 and the electromagnetic tracking device 4. Because the accurate positioning range of the electromagnetic positioning technology is smaller, the electromagnetic positioning technology is easy to cause quite large positioning errors due to improper placement in the actual use process. Therefore, it is necessary to experimentally measure the relation between the electromagnetic positioning error and the sensor placement position, and provide a reference for the motion range of the electromagnetic sensor in the subsequent experiments and actual use.
From the analysis of fig. 2, it can be seen that the optical navigation positioning system error is small when the first set of optical targets 1 makes an angle of about plus or minus 40 ° with the optical tracking device 3. The experimental results can provide a reference for the placement pose of the optical sensor in the optical positioning operation. Whereas for the electromagnetic target 2, the error is greater as the electromagnetic target 2 is farther from the center of the magnetic field generator in the YZ plane. And as the distance in the Z direction increases, the positioning error of the electromagnetic target 2 increases significantly over each Y distance. Therefore, the electromagnetic tracking device 4 should be used to track and position the magnetic field generator as close as possible to the center during the subsequent experiments and practical use.
The tracking positions of the first group of optical targets 1 and the electromagnetic targets 2 are registered to the positions of the needle points of the bone needles in a rotation calibration mode, so that the positions of the needle points of the bone needles are located at the same physical position in the optical tracking process and the electromagnetic tracking process. Meanwhile, the position of the needle point of the bone needle is tracked in real time in the rotation calibration process. The principle of rotation calibration is as follows: in the effective range of the optical positioning system, the needle point of the bone needle is positioned in the conical hole of the calibration block, and the drill bit is taken as the vertex to rotate for 360 degrees. The included angle between the rotation and the plumb line is between 30 degrees and 60 degrees, and after the rotation is finished, the system automatically calculates the compensation value, the error root mean square value, the maximum error value, the minimum deflection angle and the like from the rotation center to the optical passive rigid body coordinate system. After the compensation value is applied, the position information output by the optical positioning system is not the position information of the optical passive rigid body, but the position information of the needle point of the bone needle. Through 15 groups of calibration, the obtained position point set of the needle point of the bone needle under the OPM2 coordinate system (the coordinate system of the first group of optical targets 1) in the rotation calibration processThe accuracy (root mean square error value) is between 0.25 and 0.40 mm. The calibration method of the electromagnetic positioning system is the same as that of optics, and through 15 groups of calibration, the position point set/>, of the needle point of the bone needle under an EMS coordinate system (the coordinate system of an electromagnetic target 2) in the rotation calibration process is obtainedThe accuracy (error root mean square value) is about 0.50 mm.
Calculating a position point set of the needle tip under the OPM1 coordinate system when optically tracking the first group of optical targets 1 according to the following
Calculating the position point set of the needle point of the bone needle under the EM coordinate system when the electromagnetic tracking electromagnetic target point 2 is calculated according to the following formula

The OP coordinate system represents the coordinate system of the optical tracking device 3, the OPM1 coordinate system represents the coordinate system of the second set of optical targets 5, and the EM coordinate system represents the coordinate system of the electromagnetic tracking device 4. In order to realize the hybrid tracking of an electromagnetic and optical positioning system in a navigation system, after the tracking positions of a six-dimensional optical sensor and a six-dimensional electromagnetic sensor on an intelligent bone needle are registered to the position of the needle tip of the bone needle, the optical coordinate system and the electromagnetic coordinate system are unified to obtain a conversion matrix from the optical coordinate system to the electromagnetic coordinate system, so that the next fusion algorithm work can be performed. In the embodiment, the conversion matrix/>, from the EM coordinate system to the OPM1 coordinate system, is calculated by a least squares fitting registration methodThe core idea of the least square algorithm is to align two position point sets in an iterative optimization mode:
Wherein n is the number of position points in the set of position points of the needle tip, i=1, 2,..n, C is the position error model coefficient, For/>Position information of the i-th position point in (x i,yi,zi) is/>Position information of the i-th position point in the list. Assuming a rigid body transformation (including translation and rotation) between the sets of position points, the optimal rigid body transformation parameters are solved by minimizing the distance error between the two sets of position points. Next, the registered position point set is obtained by transforming the rotation matrix and the translation matrix. Finally, a transformation matrix is obtained to calculate the root mean square error to evaluate the accuracy of the registration result, which is about 0.8mm.
The transformation matrix in this embodiment is specifically:
root mean square error rmse=1.371.
The set of location points also contains some "dead spots" with large measurement errors, which are affected by the accuracy of the optical and electromagnetic sensors. Therefore, the position point set registration effect is poor, the root mean square error of the final transformation matrix is larger, and the misaligned dead pixels after registration can be obviously seen in the position point set registration diagram. In order to reduce the error of the transformation matrix obtained by registration, the embodiment screens out the points with the measurement error larger than 0.2mm, eliminates the obviously misaligned bad points after registration, and carries out the registration experiment again. As shown in fig. 4, the registration effect after removing the dead pixel is significantly better than the registration result in the case of multiple data. By the process of eliminating dead pixels, the root mean square error is reduced from 1.37 to 0.50. Meets the use requirement of the system. The transformation matrix from the optical reference coordinate system to the electromagnetic coordinate system is obtained by an electromagnetic coordinate system and optical coordinate system registration experiment and is as follows:
Finally, the following formula will be adopted Unified into an OPM1 coordinate system:
Wherein, Is a transformation matrix from an EM coordinate system to an OPM1 coordinate system,/>Is a set of position points of the needle tip of the bone needle under an OPM1 coordinate system when the electromagnetic target spot 2 is electromagnetically tracked.
The kalman filter algorithm is a technique used in control theory and signal processing to combine measurements from multiple sensors to estimate the state of the system. It is often used for navigation and robotic applications where there are multiple data sources providing information about position, speed and direction. In this embodiment, the Kalman filtering algorithm fuses electromagnetic sensor and optical sensor positioning data by predicting and updating. The filter needs to be predicted in combination with the process noise to build the process model and corrected in combination with the measurement noise to build the measurement equation.

The embodiment is based on an electromagnetic and optical fusion reset positioning navigation method, uses an Optical Tracking System (OTS) and an electromagnetic tracking system (EMTS) to position the gesture of a surgical instrument in space, and aims at the problems that the optical precision is high, but the electromagnetic precision is required to be ensured not to be blocked, the electromagnetic precision is low and the electromagnetic precision can be influenced by magnetic field distortion, and provides a fracture reset in-vivo and in-vitro gesture high-precision dynamic measurement method which fuses the electromagnetic tracking technology and the optical tracking technology. Firstly, an error model of an electromagnetic and optical tracking system is analyzed, a sensor is integrated on an intelligent bone needle and calibration is completed, and then optical navigation and electromagnetic navigation are fused through Kalman filtering, so that robust tracking of surgical instruments is realized. The fused positioning of the Optical Tracking System (OTS) and the electromagnetic tracking system (EMTS) effectively compensates for sensor occlusion, providing a continuous estimate of instrument pose.
Experiment A
Experiments are carried out by using the calibrated bone spicules with the optical positioning targets and the electromagnetic targets, the optical targets are fixed at the top ends of the bone spicules, and the electromagnetic targets are fixed at positions, close to the needle points, inside the bone spicules. And the bone needle is fixed on the Si Ling Diana7 mechanical arm. By analyzing the error models of the optical tracking equipment and the electromagnetic tracking equipment before, the angle between the optical target ball and the binocular camera is set to be about 45 degrees, and the distance between the electromagnetic targets in the movement range of the tail end of the mechanical arm is 100 mm-300 mm, so that the two sensing systems are tested in the high-precision effective tracking range.
The mechanical arm pulls the bone needle to move linearly at a uniform speed on a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field generator (YZ plane of the spatial coordinate system of the magnetic field generator). And in order to better simulate the shake during operation, the motion of the mechanical arm is added with acceleration noise with variance of 0.1 mm. And the position of the needle tip under the optical tracking system and the electromagnetic tracking system in the uniform motion process is recorded in a sampling period of 20hz, and the final position coordinates are processed and output in real time by Kalman filtering, and the result is shown in fig. 5 (a).
Experiment B
In consideration of the problem that the optical sight is blocked easily in the actual operation process, the fusion optical sensor and the electromagnetic sensor are proposed. Thus, in the absence of one or more available optical marker data (e.g., in the case of a line of sight occlusion), it is proposed to use data from the EMTS to provide missing optical data for a sensor fusion algorithm that relies solely on the system model and available measurements. The latter is called a single sensor fusion algorithm. And the optical sight shielding experiment which is easy to occur in the corresponding operation process is also designed, the optical target spot is artificially shielded twice in the process of dragging the bone needle by the mechanical arm, the shielding time length is about 2s each time, the reliability and the stability of the algorithm are tested, and the experimental result is shown in the figure 5 (b).
In experiment a, it can be seen that the stability of the filtered curve is better when the spicule is close to the magnetic field generator (z value is smaller), and the accuracy of the electromagnetic sensor is higher, so that the kalman filtering result is biased towards the electromagnetic positioning result. When the bone needle is far away from the magnetic field generator (when the z value is large), the accuracy of the optical sensor is high, so the kalman filter result starts to gradually deviate to the optical positioning result. Based on the sensor result with higher precision, the Kalman filtering is combined with another positioning result to compensate, so that the expected needle tip movement position is obtained.
In experiment B, 31 groups of optical data are lost in total under the condition of 20HZ sampling frequency by artificially shielding the optical target, and 1/4 of experimental data are occupied. In the absence of optical sensor data, the data from the EMTS is used to provide missing optical data to perform a sensor fusion algorithm. The final Kalman filtering curve is still stable, and the situation that the needle point position tracking is lost or the deviation from the true position is large does not occur, so that the Kalman filtering curve meets the experimental expectation.
