The specific embodiment
Now by coming comparatively complete explaination the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown in it.
A kind of three-dimensional orientation guidance method that is used for bone surgery that the present invention proposes, by fixed installation acceleration transducer and magnetic field sensor on operating theater instruments, obtain the gravitational acceleration component of each correspondence of operating theater instruments by acceleration transducer, magnetic field sensor obtains the magnetic-field component of each correspondence of operating theater instruments; With the gravitational acceleration component that obtains with magnetic-field component is converted to the azimuth and the sagittal angle information shows in real time, carry out the directed guiding of real-time three-dimensional again according to azimuth that shows and sagittal angle information.
The computational methods that azimuth that the gravitational acceleration component that obtains and magnetic-field component are converted to apparatus and sagittal angle information are adopted are:
Wherein:
Wherein, ∠ B is the azimuth of apparatus, and ∠ A is the sagittal angle, gx, gy, gzBe respectively the component that acceleration transducer obtains at x, y, z axle, hx, hy, hzBe the component of magnetic field sensor in x, y, the acquisition of z axle.
Because what measure is under the geographic coordinate system condition, through the resulting angle information of conversion, and in a concrete measurement event, magnetic north pole in the geographic coordinate system is constant all the time, and the measurement event orientation is at random, general by patient's orientation of being lain and patient's self conditional decisions such as anatomical position, therefore in the actual guiding process, make things convenient for surgeon to obtain required navigation information in real time by selected witness mark position way.
Generally need to measure the angle information of the symmetric position of reference point both sides, measure therefore that to begin to locate this location point be the reference position, with the angle information of desired position on the symmetric position that conveniently finds its both sides.Specifically be to obtain the azimuth of current location and sagittal angle information witness mark as next orientation measurement.Can be by preserving current position angle information mode, the current location of preserving is exactly the reference point that will set.After having preserved reference point, continuous measurement position angle information, and wireless transmission and demonstration simultaneously.Whenever carry out once all after dates of such measurement-demonstration-transmission, detect once whether need to reset witness mark, can repeat measuring period.
For obtaining higher certainty of measurement, when being installed, calibrates by pick off, mainly each of each pick off calibrated, promptly calibrate firmly, then the factor of calibrating is cured in the internal memory of pick off, when moving, program can call; Before another is to use, carry out the semi-automatic calibration of use location, user is in environment for use, equipment is rotated a circle slowly at horizontal level, and pick off can write down related data automatically, and calibrate automatically inside, and, be used for actual test with the calibration factor maintenance.At a pick off, under technology and the guaranteed situation of element concordance, can replace with the calibration factor that known pick off carries.
The difference of the angle information of the witness mark that the angle information and the storage of current this measurement can be set is as content displayed, be that this is measured with respect to the half-convergency of witness mark or changes the angle relatively, rather than actual azimuth and sagittal angle, therefore, the shown information of taking measurement of an angle just can be, and also can be negative.For timing is represented then to represent to be rotated counterclockwise an angle with respect to reference point when being negative with respect to angle of reference point clockwise rotation.And at the beginning of using the beginning, owing to do not set reference point, the initial value of this reference point is 0, and therefore before user was not provided with new witness mark, data presented was exactly true bearing angle and sagittal angle.
