Rotatable Fiducial Marker Array for Surgical Navigation
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260090860A1 for a rotatable fiducial marker array designed for surgical navigation. The application, filed September 27, 2024, covers a rigid body supporting fiducial markers in an asymmetrical arrangement with multiple array arms extending from a central region, including a coupling arrangement enabling rotation and locking at fixed positions. Inventors include Jesse Harrison Gallant, Osamah Choudhry, Christopher Morley, and Florentin Jonas Liebmann.
What changed
The USPTO published patent application US20260090860A1 for a rotatable fiducial marker marker array for surgical navigation. The invention comprises a rigid body supporting multiple fiducial markers at fixed positions in an asymmetrical arrangement, with multiple array arms extending in different directions from a central region. The coupling arrangement at the central region enables the rigid body to rotate relative to a separate object about a rotational axis and lock at fixed rotational positions, which may include a pivotable clamp. The application was filed September 27, 2024, under Application No. 18900079.

Abstract
A fiducial marker array can have a rigid body and an array coupling arrangement. The rigid body can support a plurality of fiducial markers at fixed locations relative to each other along the rigid body to form an asymmetrical fixed positional arrangement of fiducial markers. The rigid body can include multiple array arms extending in multiple directions from a central region. The array coupling arrangement can be coupled to the rigid body at its central region and can be configured to couple the rigid body at its central region to a separate object such that the rigid body is rotatable relative to the separate object about a rotational axis extending through the central region. The array coupling arrangement can be further configured to facilitate locking the rigid body in place at one or more fixed rotational positions relative to the separate object, which can be a pivotable clamp.
