This study introduces interactive 3D bone drilling for Microendoscopic Discectomy planning. The novel mouse-driven system enables precise surgical simulation and enhances preoperative visualization.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Computer-Aided Surgery

Background:

  • Preoperative planning for Microendoscopic Discectomy is crucial for surgical success.
  • Existing bone drilling methods lack intuitive 3D interaction and precise control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop interactive 3D bone-drilling methods for Microendoscopic Discectomy preoperative planning.
  • To enable direct, intuitive manipulation of 3D bone structures using a standard 2D pointing device.

Main Methods:

  • A novel framework allowing users to cut arbitrary 3D regions on volumetrically rendered images.
  • Implementation of a smart depth control system to prevent over-drilling and ensure cutting continuity.
  • Utilization of a GPU-based rendering scheme for high-quality visualization of drilled boundaries.
