Towards intra-operative OCT guidance for automatic head surgery
First experimental results
Abstract
In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has gained increasing attention not only as an imaging device, but also as a guidance system for surgical interventions. In this contribution, we propose OCT as an external high-accuracy guidance system, and present an experimental setup of an OCT combined with a cutting laser. This setup enables not only in situ monitoring, but also automatic, high-accuracy, three-dimensional navigation and processing. Its applicability is evaluated simulating a robotic assisted surgical intervention, including planning, navigation, and processing. First results demonstrate that OCT is suitable as a guidance system, fulfilling accuracy demands of interventions such as the cochlear implant surgery.
