Abstract
A computer implemented medical method of calibrating a cage is presented. In particular, this calibration method calculates a virtual model of the cage based on a cage tip point and a cage end point, acquired by using a pointer tip of a pointing device, and at least one axis, acquired by using a pointer shaft of the pointing device along a side of the cage. This method allows for providing a more detailed virtual model of the cage, while being in compliance with sterility restrictions.
