Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Artificial intelligence in medicine
  • Medical imaging analysis

Background:

  • Traditional pedicle screw placement methods include freehand, fluoroscopy, CT guidance, and robotics.
  • Image-guided surgery aims to leverage CT benefits without increased radiation exposure.
  • This study explores autonomous pedicle screw placement using a neural network in radiographs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a neural network's capability for autonomous lumbar pedicle screw placement.
  • To assess accuracy in screw length, diameter, and angulation without human intervention.
  • To determine the feasibility of AI-driven pedicle screw insertion in spinal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A machine learning process trained a neural network for pedicle screw placement.
  • The method integrated autonomous spine segmentation and landmark localization.
  • Screw placement accuracy was assessed using Zdichavsky, Ravi, and Gertzbein grading systems.

Main Results:

  • The neural network successfully placed 208 pedicle screws from L1 to S1.
  • 100% achieved Zdichavsky Score 1A, and 99% received Ravi Grade 1.
  • Minor deviations (<2 mm breech) were noted in 1% of screws (Ravi Grade 2, Gertzbein Grade B).

Conclusions:

  • The AI system demonstrated high precision in autonomous pedicle screw placement.
  • This technology can be integrated with image-guided platforms for spinal stabilization.
  • The findings suggest an efficient and effective AI-driven method for pedicle screw insertion.
