Abstract
Computer assisted navigation is a widely adopted technique in neurosurgery and orthopedics. In general, the used tracking systems are applicable to multiple situations. However, these general-purpose devices are costly and in case of unusual laboratory applications, a dedicated solution often shows a better performance. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective 3D navigation system for the augmented reality assisted brain tumor extraction in mice, used for cancer research. Off-the-shelf camera 3D reconstruction algorithms are used to individually track a target and a surgical tool. Relative to its costs, the experiments showed an excellent navigation error of 0.48mm +/- 0.25 mm.
