METHOD OF PLANNING, PREPARING, SUPPORTING, MONITORING AND/OR SUBSEQUENTLY CHECKING A SURGICAL INTERVENTION IN THE HUMAN OR ANIMAL BODY, APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH AN INTERVENTION AND USE OF THE APPARATUS
A method of planning, preparing, supporting, monitoring and/or subsequently checking a surgical intervention in the human or animal body, for introducing at least one implant, in which, with the aid of an imaging assistance means (“IAM”), at least two multidimensional images of at least one portion of the body are displayed, and at least two images which differ with respect to the number of dimensions of the image. The multidimensional images are identified and processed with the aid of the IAM. Information and/or data on implants and/or 2D and/or 3D images of implants is/are supplied to the IAM, which uses an interface to transmit data online during the surgical intervention to equipment for planning, supporting, monitoring and/or subsequently checking a surgical intervention. The IAM is supplied with reference data, target values, standard values and/or general non-patient-specific data and/or information on implants which, before being supplied, is/are compared with standard values.
