A method includes providing medical images of a subject for selecting a target image from thereamong, building a 3D image model based on the medical images and the target image with a surgical target site assigned, performing image registration to superimpose the 3D image model on a real-time image of the subject so as to result in a combined image, determining a virtual entry site located on the combined image, connecting the surgical target site and the virtual entry site with a straight line, generating a guiding path extending from the virtual entry site, in a direction away from the surgical target site and along the straight line, and displaying the guiding path for guiding a surgical instrument.

Method, system, computer program product and application-specific integrated circuit for guiding surgical instrument

A system includes an image capturing device, a subject reference marker disposed adjacent to a subject, a tool reference marker disposed on a treatment tool, a display device mounted on an operator, an operator reference marker disposed on the display device, and a processor. The image capturing device includes two image capturing modules that simultaneously and respectively capture two images of the operator, the subject, and the treatment tool. The processor receives the images, analyzes the images to obtain spatial locations of the reference markers, and transmits coordinate information and auxiliary information.
