In neurosurgery operating microscopes are indispensable. Stereotaxic frames are invaluable tools as well because of the great precision with which they permit a neurosurgeon to place a probe with an accuracy on the order of 1mm. The goal of this project is to combine the functionality of the operating microscope with the accuracy of a stereotaxic frame by outfitting digital encoders on the stand which supports the microscope so as to monitor its exact position continuously with a computer. The precise knowledge of the microscope's position will permit the display of anatomic information such as a tumors outline in the focal plane of the microscope via a miniature video display. Preliminary simulations demonstrate that this is realizable with commercially available encoders. Our specific aim will be to very this with a prototype stand. This device will be tested by comparing its position as computed from the encoders with its actual position on precision milled blocks of known dimensions. It is believed that the commercial prospects of this project are very attractive given that any institution equipped to perform neurosurgical procedures will be a potential customer.

在神经外科手术显微镜是必不可少的。 立体定位 框架也是非常宝贵的工具，因为它具有很高的精度， 它们允许神经外科医生将探针准确地放置在 1mm的顺序。 该项目的目标是将联合收割机的功能 手术显微镜的立体定位框架的准确性， 在支撑显微镜的支架上配备数字编码器 以便用计算机连续监测其精确位置。 的 对显微镜位置的精确了解将允许显示 的解剖信息，如肿瘤轮廓在焦平面的 通过一个微型视频显示器控制显微镜。 初步模拟 这证明了这可以用商业上可获得的编码器来实现。 我们的具体目标将是非常这与原型的立场。这 将通过比较从以下位置计算的位置来测试器械： 编码器的实际位置与已知的精密铣削块 尺寸. 相信这个项目的商业前景 是非常有吸引力的，因为任何有能力执行 神经外科手术将是一个潜在的客户。
