CLINICAL WORKFLOW

1. Data import

First, clinical pre-operative CT and MR data is imported from the hospital PACS system.

2. Patient Preparation

Subsequently, the tracking system and the patient trackers are connected to the Laterna system.

3. Patient Alignment

Next, the precise position of the patient is established using a tracked ultrasound scan.

4. Navigation

Finally, the pointer is used during surgery to aid the localization of tumors and other anatomical structures.
