Summary Abstract: Recently, we have been developing a navigation system foraortic surgery that supports surgeons to visualize relative
position between the aorta and the surrounding arteries with the three-dimensional CT images. The system has been utilized for
thoracoabdominal aortic surgery since July2006. Next, it is aimed to improve the usability of the system to be widely used for
general hospitals. This paper reports a newly developed marker system to correct a bed-motion effect in the navigation surgery.
Firstly, the navigation system embedding the marker system was applied for the human model. In this case, the navigation was
well-conducted in response to the bed-motion. Next, the patient's body movement was measured for the bed motion effect. It was
examined for four volunteers. As a result, it was found that the total displacement of the positional relationships between the bed and
the patient's body was8.5mm or less for the rotation from the abdomen to the back side of body. Consequently, the accuracy of the
system is sufficient about10.0mm in the direction from the head to the feet.
It is concluded that for a newly developed marker system was achieved to correct a bed-motion effect in the navigation for aortic
surgery with sufficient accuracy.
