Abstract

The main objective of the MINARO project (Minimal Invasive NAvigation and RObotics) is the development of a modular intraoperative planning system for fluoroscopy based total hip revision surgery. Especially the distal cement removal can be a challenging problem. To avoid exhaustive x-ray imaging a navigation system should be used, nevertheless, the three-dimensional shape of the bone cement remains unclear. Our approach in the MINARO-project is to reconstruct the real shape of the bone cement by using just a few x-ray projections. First results show, that the reconstruction has an RMS-Error smaller than 0.5 mm using 6 x-ray projections.
