Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Computer image-guided surgery (IGS) is valuable for tracking instruments and minimizing injury risk.
  • Current IGS systems for spinal and cranial surgery have limited instrument versatility, hindering procedural efficiency.
  • Existing spinal IGS for screw placement often relies on standard probes for entry point verification, with subsequent steps lacking image guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate custom software and hardware for adapting standard surgical instruments for real-time image guidance in spinal surgery.
  • To overcome the limitations of pre-defined instruments in current image-guided surgery systems.
  • To enhance the accuracy and safety of spinal and intracranial procedures through versatile instrument integration.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Development of custom software applications and universal hardware adaptation devices for IGS.
  • Utilization of universal dynamic registration hardware and software to adapt standard surgical instruments.
  • Attachment and calibration of an array of light-emitting diodes to rigid instruments for intraoperative use.

Main Results:

  • Laboratory tests on a cadaveric model demonstrated high accuracy with the new system.
  • The dynamically registered custom instrument showed a difference in accuracy of less than 1.0 mm compared to the standard probe.
  • The image-guided system achieved an absolute mean error of less than 2.0 mm, considered clinically insignificant.

Conclusions:

  • The developed technology enables the use of a full array of standard instruments with real-time image guidance.
  • This advancement significantly improves the safety and accuracy of spinal and intracranial surgery.
  • The system addresses the limitations of current IGS by allowing rapid interchange and use of versatile instruments.
