This study introduces a novel, non-invasive spine registration system for robot-assisted surgery. It achieves accurate pedicle-screw placement in under 4 minutes, enhancing surgical precision and reducing radiation exposure.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and biomechanics
  • Medical imaging and image analysis
  • Surgical navigation systems

Background:

  • Accurate patient registration is crucial for robot-assisted spine surgery.
  • Current methods involve invasive frames or complex intraoperative imaging, increasing risks and costs.
  • A need exists for efficient, non-invasive registration techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel non-invasive, contactless spine registration system.
  • To enable accurate patient registration for robot-assisted spine surgery.
  • To reduce radiation exposure and procedural complexity associated with current methods.

Main Methods:

  • A system integrating a skin-affixed, radiopaque mask and a robot-mounted monocular camera was developed.

  • The system uses live camera feeds and advanced algorithms for real-time mask tracking and pose estimation.
  • Phantom experiments were conducted to assess registration accuracy and pedicle-screw targeting.

    • Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated millimeter accuracy in pedicle-screw path localization on spine phantoms.
    • Registration was completed in under 4 minutes per vertebra.
    • The system effectively accounts for patient positioning changes between CT scanning and the operating theater.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed system provides an objective and accurate reference for image-guided screw placement in spine surgery.
    • It facilitates frame-free patient registration for both manual and robotic procedures.
    • The system lays the groundwork for future clinical translation, pending cadaveric and pilot studies.
