Patent attributes
A robotic surgery method may include moving and temporarily fixing the position of a mobile base relative to the floor; coupling a first element of a fluoroscopic imaging system, including a source element and a detector element, to a first robotic arm coupled to the mobile base, the first robotic arm including a mounting fixture configured to be interchangeably coupled to a surgical tool and the first element; mounting a second element of the fluoroscopic imaging system in a position and orientation relative to the first element such that a targeted patient tissue structure may be positioned between the first and second elements of the fluoroscopic imaging system; and utilizing a sensing system and one or more sensing elements coupled to each of the first and second elements of the fluoroscopic imaging system to determine a relative spatial positioning between each of the first and second elements.
