What’s the difference between navigation and localization in surgical robots？

 In recent years, surgical robotics has been widely used, and robot-assisted surgery has become more and more popular around the world.

Utilizing advanced robotics technology with high-precision image navigation and localization technology, surgical robots are able to achieve precise surgical operations and efficient treatment results. Among them, localization and navigation technology is a core component in robot-assisted surgery and a key factor affecting the quality and effect of surgery.

Navigation and localization of surgical robots

Navigation of the surgical robot:

Navigation is an important part of surgical route planning and surgical path guidance in robot-assisted surgery. Through reasonable navigation planning, it can reduce surgical time, minimize surgical risk and improve surgical efficiency. The navigation technology widely used in robot-assisted surgery has the following two main aspects:

  1. Reverse planning navigation technology

Reverse planning navigation technology is a technology that plans the surgical path in reverse based on the real data obtained during the surgical process. This technology is able to utilize the actual working space of surgical instruments and the patient’s CT, MRI and other image data to reverse plan the best surgical path through calculation and analysis, providing precise navigation guidance for the surgical process.

  1. Virtual Reality Navigation Technology

Virtual reality navigation technology refers to a navigation technology that utilizes computer image processing technology to transform the real data of the surgical process, into a virtual reality scene. This technology can simulate the surgical scene, surgical operation process, surgical instrument movement trajectory, etc., to provide real-time visual navigation guidance for the doctor, and assist in the surgical process to carry out complex surgical operations.

Localization of the surgical robot:

Positioning technology is a necessary part of robot-assisted surgery for surgical site calibration and cutting positioning. Through accurate surgical site calibration, the robot arm can autonomously locate and detect the patient’s internal lesions, thus realizing more accurate surgical operations. At present, the widely used localization technologies in robot-assisted surgery mainly include the following aspects:

  1. Three-dimensional reconstruction technology

Three-dimensional reconstruction technology is a technology that utilizes medical imaging technology and computer image processing technology to reconstruct a three-dimensional model of the patient’s internal body to guide surgical operations. This technology is able to simulate the internal anatomical structure of the patient based on the patient’s CT, MRI, PET and other image data, providing precise navigation and positioning information for surgery.

Regarding the alignment method of 3D reconstruction, the traditional scale alignment is based on image recognition, which is greatly affected by image quality. Therefore, in its PL300B spine navigation and positioning system developed by domestic manufacturer Perlove Medical, it innovatively adopts the method of adaptive alignment, which is based on trajectory recognition, is not affected by image quality, has high alignment accuracy, and does not need to change the end of the tool during the process, so it is easy to operate.

Adaptive Alignment (Trajectory Alignment)

  1. Magnetic Induction Positioning Technology

Magnetic induction positioning technology is a technology that relies on the principle of magnetic field induction for positioning. This technology utilizes the magnetic field changes around the operated object to determine the position and attitude of the operated object, which has the advantages of high positioning accuracy, no incision required in the positioning process, and no radiation.

  1. Optical Positioning Technology

Optical positioning technology is a surgical positioning technology based on camera and computer vision technology. This technology is capable of real-time spatial localization of surgical instruments during the surgical process by using markers such as LED lights and reflective spheres inside the patient, and by means of precise object recognition and tracking algorithms.https://www.perlove.net/whats-the-difference-between-navigation-and-localization-in-surgical-robots%ef%bc%9f/

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) which will continue with a positive pressure mask airflow into the airway. Oxygen in this manner machine called CPAP machine. Refers to the spontaneous breathing condition, the patient should have stable respiratory drive and adequate tidal volume, the entire respiratory cycle artificially impose a degree of airway pressure, thus contributing to preventing airway collapse, increased functional residual capacity improve lung compliance, and improve oxygenation. In this mode, the ventilator only maintain a certain positive airway pressure, without mechanical ventilation. Only patients with spontaneous breathing. S1600 is the type of electrically and pneumatically controlled synchronous respirator with time switch. It is mainly used for the saving of patients with respiratory failure field surgical operation and resuscitation after surgical operation. It can be used in the ambulance transportation and surgical operation outside, respiration ...

CPAP continuous positive airway pressure  (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), namely with the mask will continuous positive pressure airflow into the airway. Use this way to oxygen machine called CPAP ventilator. So, what is the working principle of CPAP respirator? (perlong medical -- S9600 ventilator) In daily life, when we breathe, intrapulmonary pressure below the atmospheric pressure, air can enter lung, when the two kinds of pressure balance, the suction stop; exhale, intrapulmonary pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, breath, when intrapulmonary pressure increased continuously, and is equal to atmospheric pressure, breath stop. Application of continuous positive airway pressure, breathe in, there is a pressure to push air into the lungs, expiratory when also the existence of an additional pressure, prevent gas exhaled. The additional pressure on the inspiratory and expiratory all play a role, but no size change, it is called a continuous positive airway p...
