Software designed to operate imageless computer-aided surgical systems and control/monitor their functions. This software is usually intended to work only with one or a few models of imageless surgical systems, usually supplied by the same manufacturer. The software performs a variety of algorithms to make possible the appropriate performance of the system during the surgical procedure and to facilitate the sending/receiving of patient data from and to a workstation and/or imaging and information systems. Imageless surgical stereotactic system software is frequently available separate from the surgical system and may be also updated (i.e., through the release of modified versions) during the life of the surgical system. Dedicated image-guided surgical system software is also available for a few of different applications, including orthopedics
