Abstract :
A conceptual medical robotic system applicable for establishing surgical platform in the process of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is proposed in this paper. According to the requirement of MISS operation, the surgical navigation system is established. The navigation system proposed a set of image intensification algorithm, which can enhance the images visual effect and surgery precision. At last, the experimental results made for the prototype illustrate the system well. This research will lay a good foundation for the development of a medical robot to assist in MISS operation.
