BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive spine (MIS) fusion surgery requires image guidance and expert manual dexterity for a successful, efficient, and accurate pedicle screw placement. Operating room (OR)-integrated robotic solution can provide precise assis...
Machine learning and deep learning are rapidly finding applications in the medical imaging field. In this paper, we address the long-standing problem of metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) images by training a dual-stream deep convolutional n...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical accuracy and perioperative outcomes for pedicle screw placement in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) between the robot-assisted (RA) technique and fluoroscopy-guided (FG) technique.
OBJECTIVE: Various computer-based guidance systems have been devised to reduce costly screw-related complications, yet their clinical effectiveness has never been comparatively assessed in a meta-analysis. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of clinic...
