The disclosure relates to a method for disassembling a marker array () comprising at least three optical markers () arranged according a determined array geometry configured to be tracked by a localization camera from an array fixation () to which the marker array () is connected, the method comprising, prior to or during disconnecting the marker array () from the array fixation (), actuating a mechanism configured to selectively modify the array geometry so as to unable tracking of the marker array by the localization camera.

Method for disassembling a marker array from an array fixation, and array assembly for performing said method

Robotic surgical tool

A modular fluoro-navigation instrument including a base made of a substantially radiotransparent material. The base is intended to be rigidly secured to a patient's bone and a tracker rigidly attachable to the base. The instrument has a registration phantom separate from the tracker which includes a plurality of radiopaque fiducials. The base and the registration phantom includes respective attachment members for reproducibly attaching the registration phantom to the base.

Modular fluoro-navigation instrument

A fluoro-navigation system for navigating a tool relative to a medical image. The system includes a motorized X-ray imaging system for acquiring a plurality of images of a region of interest of a patient, the position of each image being known. Also included is a localization system, a registration phantom with a plurality of radiopaque fiducials, a tracker for being tracked by the localization system, a processor for receiving the plurality of images and for reconstructing a 3D medical image from the images using radiopaque fiducials visible in the plurality of images. Also included is base made of a substantially radiotransparent material, to be rigidly secured to a patient's bone and having a reproducible fixation system for attaching the registration phantom and/or tracker.
