Abstract

See full text

A method for re-registration between a robotic coordinate system and an image data set, said method comprising: providing an image data set that has been registered within a robotic coordinate system based upon an initial bone position within the robotic coordinate system; locating at least three conserved points fixed relative to the initial bone position prior to any detectable change in bone position from the initial bone position; relocating the same three conserved point after bone motion may have occurred to determine the locational change in the three conserved points; and re-register the image data set within the robotic coordinate system based on the locational changes.
