More Information
Summary:An advantageous interoperative system includes a scanner [20] with an enclosed scanning zone, an image guided system [24] operatively connected to the scanner [20], a surgical table [22] having a radiolucent member [228] attached to one end thereof with a radiolucent support [264] held near an outboard end [236] of the radiolucent member [228] by a radiolucent adaptor assembly [210], the radiolucent adaptor assembly [210] being hingedly connected to both the radiolucent member [228] and the radiolucent support [264]. The table [22] and the radiolucent member [228] attached thereto are movable relative to the scanner [20] to locate the radiolucent member [228] and the head of a patient supported thereon within the scanning zone, to facilitate interoperative scans. The two spaced hinged connections of the radiolucent adaptor assembly [210] promote versatility for the surgeon in positioning the radiolucent member [228] and the patient stabilization device [272 or 280] within the scanning zone. The patient stabilization [272, 280] device may be a radiolucent skull clamp [280] or a radiolucent horseshoe headrest [272], and the radiolucent skull clamp [280] and radiolucent horseshoe headrest [272] are mounted on supports [266, 278] which interchangeably connect to the radiolucent adaptor assembly [210].
