TOY-1
Advancements in medical imaging technology enables a doctor/surgeon to obtain precise information about the location, position, orientation, and relation of internal structures of a patient before a surgical procedure. The medical images facilitate preoperative planning for surgical procedures.

However, during a surgical procedure obtaining the same level of precision and information about internal structures of the patient is not readily available. Typically, if a surgeon wants to confirm the location and/or orientation of unexposed structures of the patient during a procedure the surgeon may rely on medical imaging technologies available in an operating room during the procedure. However, access to such medical imaging technologies in the operating room during the procedure may not be practical or feasible due to the high costs of such equipment. In addition, stopping a surgical procedure to take intraoperative images of the patient interrupts the surgical procedure, can require reconfiguration of the surgical field, and extends the duration of the procedure. Extended procedures can require a patient to remain sedated with can increase risks of complications with the success of the procedure.
