Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Spine Registration
Closely match the Advanced Scanners optical scan of the partially exposed surface of the patient vertebra to the corresponding patient's preoperative MRI and/or CT scan, thereby learning the position of the rest of the vertebra. This endpoint includes registration of the relevant preoperative MRI or CT scan portion to the portion scanned by Advanced Scanners.
Throughout the surgical procedure
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Vertebral Shift Measurement
Throughout the surgical procedure
Determination Of Bony Exposure Requirements
Throughout the surgical procedure
Interventions
An optical 3D scanner used to register spine anatomy to surgical computer navigation systems.
Eligibility Criteria
Subjects will be invited to participate from the Principal Investigator's clinic population. All subjects will be identified as requiring a spine surgery that meets the eligibility requirements.
You may qualify if:
- Patients that require exposure of posterior bony anatomy for visualization as standard of care.
- Patients will have had a CT scan performed prior to the procedure as standard of care, or is expected to have a CT scan intraoperatively as standard of care.
- Clinically planned for spine surgery.
- Able to provide written informed consent from subject, using IRB approved consent form and agrees to comply with protocol requirements.
- Patients who do not speak English will be allowed to participate, with the expectation that the site will provide interpreter services to help with the consent process.
You may not qualify if:
- Language problems that would prevent from properly understanding instructions in any language.
- Patients less than 18 years of age or older than 80 years of age
- Patients who are excluded from consideration for the surgical procedure are therefore excluded from the research study.
- Special populations: pregnant women, prisoners.
- Minimally invasive spine surgery that does not expose the necessary bone/s.
- Spine surgery without posterior exposure.
- Patients considered high risk for anesthesia, as determined by operative surgeon
