Implant Trajectory

Implant trajectory is the planned three-dimensional path an implanted medical device follows through the body, a critical factor in achieving accurate placement while avoiding vital anatomy. Clinicians determine the entry point, angle, depth, and orientation using anatomical landmarks, preoperative imaging, and, when appropriate, image-guided navigation; these parameters control how the implant reaches its target and interacts with surrounding tissues. In medicine, trajectory planning supports procedures involving orthopedic hardware, needles, catheters, electrodes, and other implants. Accurate trajectories can improve procedural precision, reduce tissue disruption and complication risk, and promote reliable device function and patient outcomes.

Orthogonal Trajectories

2026

Orthogonal trajectories describe the geometric relationship between two families of curves that intersect each other at right angles. One illustrative case involves a family of parabolas that open sideways along the x-axis. These curves share a common shape but differ by a scaling parameter, resulting in a set of curves that all pass through the origin and widen at different rates.Determining Orthogonal TrajectoriesTo identify the orthogonal trajectories for these parabolas, the first step...

2013

How neuronal networks are established in the embryonic brain is a fundamental question in developmental neurobiology. Here we combined an electroporation technique with novel genetic tools, such as Cre/Lox–plasmids and PiggyBac-mediated DNA transposition system in the avian hindbrain to label dorsal interneurons and track their axonal projections and synaptic targets at various developmental stages.
