Abstract

A mechatronic system for neurosurgical simulation before operation as well as for orientation during surgery is presented. The system consists of a six-jointed robotic arm, workstation and customized 3D visualization software. The robotic arm is used to rigidly transfer multiple image data to the surgical volume. The system has been used in several biopsy and other intracranial operations with good results.
