Using optical detection to identify spine vertebrae during surgery
Automatic Optical Identification of the Spine Vertebrate Using Three-dimensional Optical Detection Based on a CT Test
This study is testing a new way to help surgeons find the right bones in the spine during surgery using special 3D scanning technology to make the process safer and more accurate.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on improving spinal surgery navigation by utilizing three-dimensional optical detection based on CT scans. It aims to enhance the accuracy of vertebrae identification during surgery, addressing the limitations of current navigation technologies that rely on markers and are affected by displacement. The study will analyze existing spinal CT tests from patients scheduled for surgery to evaluate the effectiveness of optical scanning, which offers high precision without the use of radiation. By implementing this innovative approach, the study seeks to provide a safer and more effective surgical experience.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled to undergo spinal surgery and have available spinal CT tests.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have spinal CT tests available or are not scheduled for spinal surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the accuracy and safety of spinal surgeries for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While there are existing navigation technologies, this optical detection approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
