Protocol outlines digitizing the vagus nerve and branches in cadavers, highlighting the use of an optical tracker.
This protocol details the process to digitize the xyz coordinates of the vagus nerve and its branches in situ, dissected in an embalmed human cadaver, with gross anatomical context, using the Northern Digital (NDI) optical tracker system. We acquired two types of data: points clouds used to approximate one specific coordinate location and continuous curves to represent a path.
