My department already has a surgical navigation system for neurosurgery, why would I want PathFinder?
A Surgical navigation systems provide significant benefits to surgeons in their ability to plan procedures with great accuracy and identifying the positions of instruments during the procedure, without using a frame. However, most surgeons acknowledge that the accuracy provided by such systems is less than that achievable with a stereotactic frame. The precision when using such a system is still largely dependent on the hand-eye-coordination of the surgeon.
