Abstract :
A system based on medical imaging and robot has been designed. It is intended to increase accuracy and security of surgical interventions, especially in surgery of the spine. To plan and perform the intervention multi-modal images and a guiding system are involved. A robot aligns a light beam with the previously defined surgical trajectory in order to assist the surgeon.
