Optical Topographic Imaging for Spinal Intraoperative Three-Dimensional Navigation in Mini-Open Approaches: A Prospective Cohort Study of Initial Preclinical and Clinical Feasibility
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Computer-assisted three-dimensional navigation often guides spinal instrumentation. Optical topographic imaging (OTI) offers comparable accuracy and significantly faster registration relative to current navigation systems in open posterior thoracolumbar exposures. We validate the usefulness and accuracy of OTI in minimally invasive spinal approaches.
METHODS: Mini-open midline posterior exposures were performed in 4 human cadavers. …
