Abstract

Planning milling paths for robot-based implant bed milling in the lateral skull base - the domain of the RONAF system - necessitates sampling of some pre-operative planning data. With that data, optimal implant position and individual milling paths can be computed. We present an ultrasound-based method to generate equally suited image data with less cost than with computed tomography (CT).
