Results demonstrated that the robotic system can approach surface and burr hole targets accurately. The accuracy was altered significantly by the configuration of registration fiducials and the robot was a useful tool to steady the surgical drill to place burr holes in specific locations and depth along the programmed trajectory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
