Surgical planning systems that automatically identify one or a plurality of different candidate trajectories to a defined intrabody treatment region. The systems can rank the identified candidate trajectories in an order of hierarchy based on defined parameters such as distance from a critical no-go location and whether a single or multiple different candidate trajectories are needed to provide coverage of the defined intrabody treatment region. The surgical planning systems are also configured to provide a User Interface that defines a workflow for an image-guided surgical procedure and allows a user to select one or more of the identified candidate trajectories steps in the workflow.

Surgical planning systems that automatically assess different potential trajectory paths and identify candidate trajectories for surgical systems

Circuits and computer program products onboard and/or adapted to communicate with an scanner that electronically recognize predefined physical characteristics of the at least one tool to automatically segment image data provided by the scanner whereby the at least one tool constitutes a point of interface with the system. The circuits and computer program products are configured to provide a User Interface that defines workflow progression for an image guided surgical procedure and allows a user to select steps in the workflow, and generate multi-dimensional visualizations using the predefined data of the at least one tool and data from images of the patient in substantially real time during the surgical procedure.

Computer programs for visualizations using image data and predefined data of surgical tools

MRI-Surgical systems include: (a) at least one MRI-compatible surgical tool; (b) a circuit adapted to communicate with an MRI scanner; and (c) at least one display in communication with the circuit. The circuit electronically recognizes predefined physical characteristics of the at least one tool to automatically segment MR image data provided by the MRI scanner whereby the at least one tool constitutes a point of interface with the system. The circuit is configured to provide a User Interface that defines workflow progression for an MRI-guided surgical procedure and allows a user to select steps in the workflow, and wherein the circuit is configured to generate multi-dimensional visualizations using the predefined data of the at least one tool and data from MRI images of the patient in substantially real time during the surgical procedure.
