It is done through a number of imaging technology such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultra sound and many more, these images are then uploaded in the system to form a 3 dimensional data set that produces exact geometrical structure of the region to be operated. Analysis is done by the manipulation of 3 dimensional images to extract significant information and provide multiple angles to the surgeon to have a better access at the point of attention. Using surgical navigation system the doctor will use a special instrument which will be connected to a computer to touch a diseased position on the patient.

North America is the global leader in surgical navigation system with a total market share of 40% in 2013. Few key reasons for North America’s growth are technological advancement; it has well defined framework, well developed health-care infrastructure and higher rates of implementation. Asia Pacific has shown very high potential for growth as medical infrastructure is developing on the ground of growing medical tourism in the region.
Some of the key market players in surgical navigation systems industry include; Aesculap Implant Systems (B. Braun Melsungen AG), BrainLAB AG, GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare Corporation, LLC Medtronic, Zimmer Holdings and Stryker Corporation.
