The invention comprises an integrated skin-mountable multifunction device
for use with a computer assisted or image guided surgical system and
methods of using the same, wherein the multifunction device includes a
patient mountable portion that has at least one position indicating
element and at least one imageable pattern whose geometry is known in a
coordinate system of the at least one position indicating element,
wherein the imageable pattern is visible on an imaging modality. The
multifunction device may also include a monitoring device capable of
measuring a physiological parameter of a patient for use in gating image
or position signals or for other purposes.
