The ArthroNav Project

Computer Assisted Navigation in Orthopedic Surgery using Endoscopic Images

The project ArthroNav started in 2008 and was funded till 2010 by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology under the grant PTDC/EEA-ACR/68887/2006. The original consortium was led by the Institute for Systems and Robotics, University of Coimbra (ISR-UC), in collaboration with the Hospitals of University of Coimbra (HUC), and the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Coimbra (FCTUC).

The project RDFixer started in 2009 with the objective of creating a new visualization system for endoscopy by correcting the lens distortion in real-time. The system prototype was developed between 2009 and 2011, with the financial support of the Portuguese Agency for Innovation, through the QREN co-promotion grant n 2009/003512 sponsored by the Operational Program 'Factores de Competitividade' and the European Fund for Regional Development. The consortium joined the University of Coimbra (UC) and the company Critical Health, SA (CHT)
