Abstract

The purpose of this study is a potentiality examination of an infrared camera system for the 3D navigator which can be used in the field of neurosurgery. Nowadays, CAS(computer aided surgery) technique using 3D navigator is rapidly spread into the neurosurgeric operation such as brain and spine surgery. Several techniques which can detect 3D position of a probe have been proposed. These include mechnical arm, magnetic field, optical and ultrasonic sensing methods. In this study, we decided that using optical sensing method and tested a conventional CCD camera with a infrared filter and LEDs. Pulnix TM-300 camra has sufficient spectral response in the range of near infrared. Acquired image of infrared LEDs also sufficient quality.
