- Highlights
- a new concept for a surgical targeting system is prosposed
- cost-effective, easy-to-use approach for accurate instrument guidance
- mean positioning error was found to be 0.41 mm (SD: 0.30mm)
- drilling was possible with an mean accuracy of 0.35mm (SD: 0.29mm)
- demonstration of sufficient accuracy (0.35mm +/- 0.30mm) for many surgical applications
