GENERAL INFORMATION
Compatible Brainlab Medical Software Only Brainlab medical software specified by Brainlab may be installed and used with the system. Contact Brainlab support for clarification regarding compatibility with Brainlab medical software.
Non-Brainlab Software Only authorized Brainlab employees may install software on the Brainlab system. Do not install or remove any software applications.
Updates Warning Updates to the operating system (hotfixes) or third-party software should be performed outside clinical hours and in a test environment to verify correct operation of the Brainlab system. Brainlab monitors the released Windows hotfixes and will know, for some updates, if problems can be expected. Contact Brainlab support if any problems to operating system hotfixes are encountered.
Virus Scanning and Malware Brainlab recommends protecting the system with state-of-the-art anti-virus software. Be aware that some malware protection software (e.g., virus scanner) settings can negatively affect system performance. For example, if real-time scans are performed and each file access is monitored, then loading and saving patient data may be slow. Brainlab recommends disabling real-time scans and performing virus scans during non-clinical hours. Warning Ensure that your anti-virus software does not modify any Brainlab directories, specifically: • C:Brainlab, D:Brainlab, F:Brainlab, etc. • C:PatientData, D:PatientData, F:PatientData, etc. Warning Do not download or install updates during treatment planning. Contact Brainlab support for further information regarding any of these issues.
Microsoft Security Updates for Windows and Driver Updates Brainlab allows the installation of security patches only. Do not install service packs and optional updates. Verify your settings to ensure updates are downloaded and installed correctly and at a suitable time. Do not update drivers on Brainlab platforms. See the Brainlab website for more information about settings and a list of Microsoft Security Updates blocked by Brainlab support. Address: www.brainlab.com/updates Password: WindowsUpdates!89

Getting Started
Getting Started with Trajectory Planning
Figure 1 Trajectory Planning is a medical device configuration based on the Trajectory software that delivers necessary key functions dedicated to trajectory planning. You can plan possible pathways for the surgical instruments on the scanned images with Trajectory software.

Image Viewing Functions
2.2
Image Viewing Functions
Viewing Options Button
Function
Zoom: Activates the zoom function to the region of interest. You can also use Ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom.
Scroll: Activates scroll functions in the displayed reconstruction (plane). For each view and interaction option, there is a dedicated scroll increment: • Use the in-view buttons to scroll up/down 0.5 mm. • Drag the mouse pointer within the main view to scroll up/down (zoom level dependent). • Turn the mouse wheel with the mouse pointer over the side of the Inline view to scroll up/down 0.5 mm in the trajectory direction. NOTE: Some scroll functions are available independently of Scroll being activated.
Pan: Pans vertical and horizontal planes. You can also use Ctrl + left mouse button to pan.
Windowing: Adjusts the brightness and contrast of a slice. • Drag down/up to increase/decrease the brightness. • Drag right/left to increase/decrease the contrast level.
Additional Options Button
Function • Shows the active trajectory. • Use arrow buttons to toggle between trajectories.
Center: Automatically scrolls and pans the reconstruction to display the target/entry (at the center of the view).
Rotate: Rotates the current view. • Rotates the 2D reconstruction in relation to other views. • Rotates the 3D reconstruction plane/3D rendering. • Adjusts the scrolling plane (in specific views).

Layouts

Layouts
ACS Layout
Figure 4 ACS layout displays corresponding axial, coronal, sagittal and perpendicular reconstructions of the active image set in a 2 x 2 view layout. With regards to scrolling through the imaged volume, it is the most flexible layout of the four. The triplanar arrangement of the three orthogonal reconstructions (i.e., axial, coronal and sagittal), provides a good spatial overview of the viewed anatomy. • In each of the views, the view name is shown in the upper left corner (e.g., Perpendicular). If the views are centered on the target, then Distance to Target is displayed in the view in the upper left. • If you have scrolled the views to a point not being on the trajectory axis, no distance to target is shown, and all four views will display a "cursor cross," indicating the position of the point in space being viewed. • If you make any changes to the trajectory, all views update. Use this classical ACS layout for initial positioning of the trajectory, precise corrections as well as the final plan review.

SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
Inline Layout
Figure 5 In Inline layout, the image on the left shows a perpendicular reconstruction through that point on the trajectory axis that is being defined by the yellow line as well as the values labeled in the view. The two inline views on the right show reconstructions that are in plane with the trajectory axis. Inline 1, Inline 2 and Perpendicular reconstructions are orthogonal to each other. Use Inline layout to review and refine the trajectory paths (e.g., to avoid vessel penetration or optimize targeting approach).
Overview Layout

Figure 6 Overview layout is similar to Inline layout, but adds a 3D view for displaying 3D plane reconstructions (Axial, Coronal, Sagittal) or 3D renderings (Cortex, Bone, Skin, Objects, MIP, DRR). Software User Guide Rev. 1.1 Trajectory Planning Ver. 2.5
