Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Spinal fusion surgery requires precise instrumentation for spinal column support.
  • Accurate assessment of vertebrae strength is crucial for fabricating effective surgical instrumentation.
  • Current methods for vertebrae assessment may lack point-of-care applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel transmission-based probe system for point-of-care assessment of vertebrae strength.
  • To integrate machine vision for precise measurement of probe tip separation within vertebrae.
  • To enable straightforward calculation of bone tissue characteristics for surgical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing thin coaxial probes inserted into vertebral pedicles for broadband signal transmission.
  • Developing a machine vision scheme with a camera and fiducials to measure probe tip separation.
  • Applying antenna far-field approximation for calculating tissue characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a functional transmission-based probe system for vertebrae assessment.
  • Validated the machine vision technique for accurate measurement of probe tip distance.
  • Showcased the combined system's capability for calculating bone tissue properties.

Conclusions:

  • The developed transmission probe and machine vision system show promise for point-of-care vertebrae strength assessment.
  • This technology can aid in the fabrication of improved instrumentation for spinal fusion surgery.
  • Further validation and clinical prototype development are warranted.
