Method and apparatus for providing related images over time of a portion of the anatomy using fiducial implants

摘要: The present invention pertains to a fiducial implant for the human body that is detectable by an imaging system. comprised of first portion and second portion. configured be detected system when place beneath skin. fixed attachment bone skin without penetrating entirely through fracturing bone. dectable size material detection system, sufficiently small avoid distortion placed at interface between also has least which spherical defines surfacee cooperating with tool securing Additionally, placement three implants into anatomy allows recreation particular image slice taken respect time period, subsequent sessions different scan modalities. This provides doctor ability accurately follow progress interest. Moreover, existence target identified within relative external coordinate may then operated on, instance, robotically, or precisely irradiated.
