First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for performing a procedure on an anatomy of a patient, comprising:
- a first memory system configured to store database data;
an instrument having a sensor configured to be positioned in a brain of the patient to obtain functional patient specific data; and
a processor operable to access the first memory system and operable to execute instructions to;
perform an initial registration of a patient specific image data and the database data, andperform a second registration of the patient specific image data and the database data after the initial registration based at least in part on the functional patient specific data obtained with the sensor from the patient with the instrument having the sensor.

12. A system for performing a procedure on an anatomy of a patient, comprising:
-
an electronic processor to execute instructions to perform an initial registration of a patient specific image data and a database data at a first time; and an instrument having a sensing portion configured to be placed within the anatomy of the patient and to obtain functional patient specific data after the first time with the sensing portion; wherein the electronic processor executes further instructions to perform a second registration of the patient specific image data and the database data at a second time after the first time based at least in part on the functional patient specific data obtained with the instrument. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for performing a procedure on an anatomy of a patient, comprising:
-
an instrument having a sensing portion to sense functional patient specific data in at least one location within the anatomy of the patient; a tracking system having at least a tracking device associated with the instrument to track the instrument in the at least one location within the anatomy of the patient; an electronic processor to execute instructions to perform a refined registration of a patient specific image data and a database data based upon at least one tracked location of the instrument; and a display device configured to display the patient specific image data and at least one icon superimposed on the patient specific image data displayed on the display device illustrating the at least one location of the functional patient specific data sensed with the sensing portion; wherein the refined registration follows an initial registration. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
