DEEP FIELD: Seeing the Unseen in Image-guided Surgery
The future of surgery will be image-guided. But how will the surgeon navigate instruments beyond the camera's field of view without using harmful x-rays? The potential of magnetic tracking to navigate surgical instruments without x-rays has long been appreciated but current technology lacks sufficient accuracy, speed, robustness and immunity to magnetic field distortion to change the clinical paradigm. DEEP FIELD will break thorough the scientific frontier in surgical navigation to make magnetic tracking the new gold standard in surgical instrument navigation. The results of DEEP FIELD will significantly reduce or eliminate the use of real-time radiation sources such as x-ray and CT in many…
