Background: in stereotactic and neuronavigational surgeries, 3D medical images of the human brain are used as a virtual map and a physical device that pinpoints anatomical structures in the real brain. Technological development has advanced from drawings and photographs of cadaveric brains to three-dimensional representations in surgical time and, in localization systems, from static mechanical devices to instantaneous dynamic visual and magnetic systems.
Objective: to present the initial experience of using a neuronavigational device with a robotic arm developed by the authors.
Device description: it is a physical three-dimensional localization system and the corresponding software, designed for use in neurosurgical interventions as a neuronavigational tool that acquires data from both Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT). It delivers, with a frequency of 5/second, 3 position data of the marker tip (pencil) that corresponds to the values on the X axis with an accuracy of less than 0.12 mm, Y axis accuracy of less than 0.23 mm and, for the Z axis an accuracy of 0.14 mm. In addition, the same information includes the data of the 3 angles of rotation of the marker pencil vector.
Conclusion: the equipment tested in four cases was simple to use and effective for marking and tracing the approach routes to the target.
