Image-guided spinal navigation enhances surgical precision by improving spatial orientation for spine surgeons. This technology is increasingly used in managing spinal metastatic disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Image-guided spinal navigation has advanced significantly over the last decade.
  • It serves as an alternative to traditional intraoperative imaging.
  • The technology aids surgeons in visualizing non-visible anatomy during spinal procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental principles of image-guided technology in spinal surgery.
  • To focus on the application of this technology in treating spinal metastatic disease.

Main Methods:

  • Review of principles of image-guided technology.
  • Focus on application in spinal metastatic disease management.

Main Results:
