Abstract

This chapter discusses image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery, where roots of image-guided surgery (IGS) can be found in the field of stereotactic intracranial surgery. Interest in the use of image guidance systems in otolaryngology increased with the development of endoscopic sinus surgery and the development of frameless systems. An IGS system consists of a computer workstation, image-processing software, a display monitor, a localization system, and specialized instrumentation that can be tracked. IGS systems include a computer monitor to handle the output of the visual data. The data is typically displayed in multiplanar format with options of videoscopic feeds as well. Electromagnetic tracking systems consist of a transmitter, located near the operative site, and a receiver, placed on the surgical instrument. Registration is the process of matching preoperative image data (virtual) to the physical space occupied by the patient during surgery.
