Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9316631A1] A method, apparatus and system for template-controlled, precision laser interventions is described for microsurgery, and industrial micromachining. The system includes a user interface, wherein the user can either draw, adjust, or designate particular template patterns overlaid on live video images of the target and provides the means for converting the template pattern into a sequence of laser shots on the corresponding surgical or industrial site. The user interface also continuously presents three dimensional visual information to the surgeon/user during the operation. The system thus comprises the following key elements: (a) a user interface (19), consisting of a video display (18), microprocessor (16) and controls, (b) an imaging system (86), including a surgical video microscope with zoom capability, (c) an automated 3D target acquisition and tracking system (84, 85, 82) that can follow the movements of the tissue, during the operation, (d) a laser, (e) a diagnostic system, incorporating a mapping and topography means (98) for measuring precise surface shapes prior to and subsequent to a procedure.
