Objective
PARAXIM and GEMETEC propose development and industrialisation of an optical measurement system called a 3D localizer, specific to the domain of Computer Assisted Surgery CAS . The principal ails of this rapidly expanding new domain in medicine are to make surgical interventions more accurate, image-guided and less invasive. 3D localizers can measure position and orientation of objects in 3 dimensions at a high rate of speed and are a bvasic component in most CAS systems. They are used to localize and track surgical tools, 3D ponters intra-operative sensors and bone motion. Designign a 3D localizer which meets CAS requirements in terms of accuracy, sterilisation, reliability, number of objects which can be localised and that can also be used by different companies and hospitals for most CAS applciations at a reasonable price has not yet been accomplished. This is the goal of the LOCAS project. The technology selected is optoelectronics because thus far, it is the only one that can meet all the CAS requirements. In the first part of the project, a general system using active markers will be developed. The second part of the project will focus on development of passive markers. Since the tool to be developed is intended for widespread generalised use, much emphasis will be given to the medical specification. Another goal is to make both medical and technical specifications public at the end of the project so that they will serve to prepare European Standards for 3D CAS localizers.
