Abstract

A fast numerical algorithm is proposed for the 6 degrees of freedom electromagnetic navigation system, which can be used to improve surgical operations guided by medical images. Both the rotation transformation technique and optimization technique are adopted in the algorithm. The results from simulations show that the calculating time is improved greatly under the required precision in the surgery. A navigation system based on the algorithm can make the medical device's dimensions miniaturized and the structure simplified and portable. The performance and application scope of the electromagnetic positioning navigation system can be improved.
